Sarah,

If you want to  disable mib browsing via the web client, I have a
suggestion, assuming your  environment is similar to my AIX 4.3.3, NV6.0.1.

Make a backup copy  and edit your /usr/OV/lrf/mibserver.lrf.  Change
OVs_YES_START to  OVs_NO_START.  De-register & then re-register mibserver
with ovdelobj  mibserver, then ovaddobj mibserver.

Clean the unused  garbage from your ovsuf file with smitty nv6000,
Maintain, Reset Startup Files,  Remove unused records from ovsuf startup
file.

OR,

Clean ovsuf as  above, then, after making a backup copy, edit the
0:mibserver: line  in your /usr/OV/conf/ovsuf from OVs_YES_START to
OVs_NO_START.

Both  tactics prevent the mibserver daemon, required by the web client mib
browser, from starting automatically along with all the other NetView
daemons,  or when typing just ovstart.  Web client users will get an
"Unable to  connect to server..." message when trying the mib browser. You
will still be  able to start it with "ovstart mibserver".

I've resorted to  this because of conflicts between Nways 2.1 Element
Manager and the NV6.0.1  web client mib browser; if one works the other
doesn't, and I need Nways more  than the web client mib browser.

Credit for this  suggestion go to Leslie Clark, who sent it to me for
dealing with my  Nways/web mib browser problem.
