Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the hardware I'm using requires me
to run 9.04...

Subject: [Bug 112937] Re: vmware server will not connect remotely
I went back to 8.04 or so and it works then. Sadly, 9.04 and possibly
even 8.10 don't work :(

vmware server will not connect remotely

Status in “ia32-libs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged
Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Bug description:
this is for the package vmware-server in the commercial repository but this
cant be chosen from your list of packages
When installing vmware-server there is an error in the file /etc/pam.d
/vmware-authd
the file is installed as follows:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient %pamdir%/pam_unix2.so shadow nullok
auth required %pamdir%/pam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok
accountsufficient %pamdir%/pam_unix2.so
accountrequired %pamdir%/pam_unix_acct.so
however the %pamdir%/ should not be in each line and instead it should
read:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient pam_unix2.so shadow nullok
auth required pam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok
accountsufficient pam_unix2.so
accountrequired pam_unix_acct.so
This then allows people to remotely connect through vmware server
console.
Also when installing on feisty server make is a dependency but is not
installed so the install fails until make is installed
