This is still an issue. I'm running ubuntu 9.04 and vmware server 1.0.9 and I 
can't get pam authorization to work. The only way I could use the remote 
console is to disable pam auth altogether. If anyone has any ideas I'd be glad 
to try them out.
Thanks!

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

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.  I too have been attempting 1.0.9
with no success.  What I find odd is that I can connect as an
unprivileged user but not as root.

 If only we could get the -current- version of Ubuntu to behave, now.

2009-05-31 Thread mike503
I will say this

I tried 9.04, could not get it to work. Same with 8.10.

However, I did 8.04.2, and it worked, out of the box, without even
requiring the vmware patch / vmware-update-update thingy. I can connect
remotely to it too, without tweaking pam at all even.

This is vmware server 1.0.9 downloaded from vmware.com, not using any
packages.

Fresh Ubuntu 8.04 x64 box, with only this ran:

apt-get build-essential libpam-modules ia32-libs xinetd

(and all the dependencies)

If only we could get the -current- version of Ubuntu to behave, now.

2009-05-29 Thread mike503
Does not work using VMware server 1.0.9 downloaded from vmware directly.

It compiles, using the vmware-any-any-update or vmware-update for the
kernel and such. However, remote connectivity still triggers the PAM
errors.

I have tried on both 9.04 and 8.10 Ubuntu 64-bit, roughly the same
message on both. I can resolve the pam_unix2.so not being found but it
still is messed up. What is odd is it seems to be looking for @include
even though I've commented it out in all the various pam files that it
is referenced in, so I do not know where it is inheriting this from!

whoops! spoke too soon. I'm actually using vmware server 2 beta. The
above worked well enough to get to the login screen but not to
authenticate, probably because it included common but not enough other
modules. Here is the pam config which works for me.

auth sufficient pam_unix.so shadow nullok
auth required pam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok
account sufficient pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix_acct.so

2008-03-31 Thread Soren Hansen
This is really a pam bug.

vmware-server uses pam as shipped in ia32-libs. pam hardcodes the
/lib/security path, but on amd64 installations, this is where the 64-bit
pam modules are, so we end up with a 32 bit application tryin to dlopen
a 64 bit binary, which obviously doesn't work. What needs to be done in
pam is to check if (uname says we're running 64 bit  we're compiled
for 32 bit) we should go looking in /lib32/security instead.

 I went for it and I too confirm that the below fixes it on AMD64 Gutsy:

 replace the pam configuration in /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd to read:

 auth sufficient /usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix.so

 #%PAM-1.0

 @include common-account

   
I guess the point is: vmware does something special with their Pam modules
which prevents the standard ones from being used. Perhaps this is the bug
that should be noted, namely, why is vmware doing something special?

Yes, the above certainly fixes the problem. It should be noted that 
older versions of
the package did the above which is how I figured out how to fix the problem.

Unable to connect to the remote host: Login (username/password)
incorrect

The same username/password works when I connect locally on the machine.

I tried the symlink of pam_unix.so to pam_unix2.so, but it didn't help.

The exact same setup was working fine when I had the vmware, not from
the repository installed, and had xinetd installed.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

[Bug 112937] Re: vmware server will not connect remotely

Hi Wilbur,

I am no linux expert, I am just the person who originally tried to file
the bug but if you follow my instructions in the first post with the
modification describe below, I think you may have success. I have only
tried it on 32 bit installs but it has worked on all of those and I
cannot see why it would not work on a 64 bit install either

edit /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd

1. sudo cp /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd.orig  
  this means you have a copy of the original file if you make a mistake.

2. change the file from

#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient /usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so 
shadow nullok
auth required /usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_auth.so 
shadow nullok
account sufficient /usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so
account required 
/usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_acct.so

To

#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient %pamdir%/pam_unix2.so shadow nullok
auth required %pamdir%/pam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok
account sufficient %pamdir%/pam_unix2.so
account required %pamdir%/pam_unix_acct.so

3. You must do this on the server you want to connect to, not the
machine you are connecting from

4.You probably need to do this everytime apt installs a newer version of
vmware until it gets fixed because on all the updates I have instaled so
far the file gets overwritten.

Hope this helps.

[Bug 112937] Re: vmware server will not connect remotely

2007-06-14 Thread mlind
With vmware-server (1.0.3-1 ) in feisty-commercial module

/etc/pam.d/vmware-authd contains:
#%PAM-1.0
auth   sufficient   
/usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so shadow nullok
auth   required 
/usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok
accountsufficient   
/usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so
accountrequired 
/usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_acct.so

although pam_unix2.so doesn't exist. I symlinked pam_unix.so --
pam_unix2.so and it seems to work.

/etc/vmware/pam.d/vmware-authd file exists too and contains the %pamdir%
entries.
