Ok, here is the situation:
I have had a perfectly running home server/file server for some time.
Handles mail, web, local imap, ssh, DNS, and so on.
I installed vmware free server, up and running.
Now, when I try to connect to it remotely, the server refuses to allow
the connection. However, I can connect to a windows machine running the
vmware free server from the linux install.
I figure that it's due to the lack of PAM (I had to fake the directories
to get the server to install). So I installed the PAM libs, still no joy.
I'm guessing that the vmware server uses PAM to authenticate remote
connections. However, it seems that I would have to recompile shadow to
use PAM before it will work.
Normally, I wouldn't have an issue with this, but I have running
multiple things running on this machine, and I'm worried about what
might break if I did redo shadow.
So, any comments on the damage redoing shadow might do? I did notice
that the BLFS book lists 4.0.9 and 4.0.18 is the latest available.
Or any idea how to get vmware to work without PAM?
