Sounds like you have NetView security turned on and you need to create
permissions for the userid help.
Can you bring up the security dialog when you type in nvauth as root?   If
so, then use the dailog to give the help id permission to use the map.

I am running NetView 5.0 on AIX 4.2
I have 2 AIX user logins (help & root). When NetView is started by user
root, it displays my maps as they have been customised to look. However, if
I start NetView using the login help, I get an uncustomised root map, ie.
all network elements on the one map ( looks like a large ball of string).
This is regardless of which NetView login I use to access NetView (admin,
oper, etc). This started happening immediately userid help was created
(about a week ago).
I also get the following msg in /home/help/nv6000.log :
nvs_isClientAuthorized(): permission denied for "ovw_binary".
Could not initialize the security context with the target machine. Ticket
corrupted. authorized=0, status=39.
A Security Context could not be established with server:
hostname.woolworths.com.au, result: 39The Login key is not
stored or is incorrect.
Note: I have replaced the actual hostname with the word hostname, and there
are no clients just the NetView server.
