Well, I've not heard further on this topic. A summary, for the benefit of the email archives: - RHEL5 was released on 2007, and the EOL according to RedHat is now 2017; a proposed lifespan of ten years. - There has been no version of open-vm-rools has even been built for RHEL5, (and by extension, CentOS) and there's no interest on the part of this project to do so. - The RPM packages associated with the commercial release cannot be redistributed. (There are only two I'm interested in, but none of them are available for our use.) So, I'm SOL, it seems. Thanks, everyone, for your feedback on this matter. -- Brian Reichert <reich...@numachi.com> BSD admin/developer at large ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
