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.
