[Test Case] * Install open-vm-tools. * Check contents of /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf. * Start vmtoolsd service e.g. by systemctl start open-vm-tools. * Check tools.conf contents again. Expected result: Config is read an left untouched. Actual result: Config file is cleared. [Regression Potential] * If any of the parameters in the template is set to a non-default value the behaviour of vmtoolsd may change slightly (e.g. different log verbosity, log target - file vs. syslog). But people will get the usual conffile changed prompts, so those who modified it will have to consciously decide which makes it safe. [Other Info] * Original bug description: The tools.conf template shipped with Ubuntu (debian/local/tools.conf) is incorrect. It's current contents: bindir = "/usr/bin" do not mean anything to open-vm-tools - it's not interpreted in any way by vmtoolsd. Moreover, on the first launch this content is cleared by a piece of code doing a "config upgrade". I believe replacing it with a more meaningful content is necessary.
