Hi James,

This is not a new install - NetView has been running fine since October
1999.  What happened before the nvsecd failed was the NetView filesystem was
full.  As a result, although we could start up NetView, it couldn't
authenticate any users to log in.  The error message we received was :

"FNS0644: Could not open message file.
nsm_install_key error, could not create credentials."

After the administrator cleared certain things, we still couldn't get
NetView to authenticate any users so we did a server restart.  After which,
we couldn't even get NetView to start at all because of the failure to start
nvsecd.

Appreciate further advice based on this...

Warmest regards,
Kendra
