The open-vm-tools should work right away. It's the preferred way: "It is created from the same code base as VMware Tools shipped with Workstation 7.1 and Fusion 3.1. We encourage distributions to use this version of software as basis of the packages included in their repositories and have users opt-in to install open-vm-tools instead of having the packages automatically installed. This avoids having users running an unsupported configuration on their VMware product when installing a new operating system." (from: http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net)
There are slight differences such as communication channels between esx host and client (which in this case as a firewall might not be wanted...)

Sorry for any confusion. I forgot to add the '?' to my mention of "incomplete". I read somewhere that the opensource one didn't have certain tools and also significantly lagged the current binary release. Not to say that the opensource one doesn't work as is. -- Cloud Services Architect, Senior System Administrator InfoRelay Online Systems (www.inforelay.com) _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
