You are doing this from the GUI, else you would not be getting messages in the
nv6000.log, correct?
What did you do to even get this far?  When I open the map as the non-root user,
I cannot even start the mib browser.   Te options "SNMP or SNMPV1/V2" are grayed
out.

Subject:  mib wrowser error




Hi all:

I have NetView 5.1.2 AIX 4.3

I have this problem: when I try to read some mib with the mib browser
being an user different to root the mib browser hang up and the
respective nv6000.log is filled  with this message:
Warning: Select failed; error code 9

but if I make the same, being root nothing wrong happened, I think that
the problem is due to a lack of permissions over some file.

Somebody has seen this problem before ?

Could I fix this problem changing some file permission?

thanks in advance,

Sergio Cardona.
