Hi, So you have got VMWare running, and the only problem now is authentication?
I have not touched the chroot passwd or group files, since I am not *running* VMWare chroot'd - I believe in this case the "chroot" is only there so all the correct 32bit libraries are available to VMWare. Did you use the "/etc/init.d/vmware" script to start VMWare? Do you have any log entries to show? If it's only authentication that's a problem, can you post the relevant lines from /var/log/auth.log? -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Christophe Montigny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 12 December 2005 10:13 PM To: Michael Dixon Cc: 'Dean Hamstead'; 'dclemen'; [email protected] Subject: Re: Help to get VmWare run!! Hello, You're a precious man ! I got it all, and updated my pam.d/vmware-authd file to point to the correct locations. However, now, vmware-authd runs without segfaulting, but tells me authentication errors. I modified the chrooted passwd and shadow files accordingly. Yet, with any of the accounts mentioned in the chrooted or real system tree, it fails :/ Michael Dixon wrote: > I am running "Linux saidin 2.6.14.3 #1 SMP Sat Dec 10 11:17:02 EST > 2005 > x86_64 GNU/Linux" on an ASUS A8V-Deluxe+Wifi + AMD64 3800+ x2. > > I went through similar problems trying to get GSX 3.2 running.
