Try setting WANmap as the default for that user or have
you already done that? NetView by default wants to open
the map named Default, you have to change this behavior.
So either, someone changed the default map for root to
WANmap or there is an alias or something in roots
environment that is causing this to happen. I would be
willing to be when the user is starting the map, it is
trying to open the Default map.

When we log on as root and start "netview", it opens our Default map named
"WANmap" just fine, yet when we use a standard user account and try and
execute "netview", it begins loading Netview and when it needs to open the
map, it crashes out and we get an error in the nv6000.log file that says:

ovw:Cannot open map

We found that if the user executes "netview -map WANmap" it opens fine.  Why
doesn't it open the map when executing "netview"?  Is there a file that
requires the map to be named "default"?  Where is this file?  We have had a
ticket open with IBM now for over 2 weeks and they haven't been able to help
us find the problem here, any help would be great.
