Thanks for your help.
I authenticate only local. So my user account is already there. However,
i think the problem might be related to a perl problem. I'm not
absolutely sure about this but the strace showed the following
.....
open("/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/auto/VMware/VmPerl/VmPerl.so",O_RDONLY)=4
.....
sendto(4, "\237W\0", 3, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 3
read(4, "\237W\1\1", 2048) = 4
sendto(4, "\202\0", 2, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 2
read(4, "\242\7\237&\0041.01", 2048) = 9
sendto(4, "\204\0", 2, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 2
read(4, "\204\2\3\206", 2048)=4
sendto(4,"\277YO\237\201I\1\1\277\201L\6\237\201S\2\3\206\237\"7"...,82,MSG_NOSIGNAL,NULL,0)=82
read(4, "\237Y\1\1", 2048)=4
sendto(4, "\277\"\10\237\201I\1\1\212\1\2", 11, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL,0)=11
read(4,
So the system hangs at a read from "VmPerl.so". A second trace stopped
at exactly the same position which makes me think there around might be
the problem.
