I did it by creating a share on the host machine and then doing a CIFS mount within the VM image to the share. You should be able to create a windows share on any machine that is reachable by the VMware machine. I don't know if that is the correct way to do it, as I am also inexperienced with Linux, but hey, it worked. As far as using another Windows workstation, I use the freebie Putty secure shell terminal program to attach to the VMware machine. Again, any machine that can 'see' the VMware installations' ssh port will work. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19208#19208 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
