Hey everyone
problem is as follows + Im to new to figure it out...


OK installed src2pkg
installed vmserver 2
used srx2pkg to make the pam.tar.gz pkg and will install with installpkg

dont get the rest of the tutorial..... Found here
http://hangdog.pihl.no-ip.org/index....d=49&Itemid=62


After the package installed, I created several symlinks in /lib/security as suggested by Travis Hein:
ln -s pam_unix.so pam_unix2.so
ln -s pam_unix.so pam_unix_auth.so
ln -s pam_unix.so pam_unix_acct.so

Finally, I created etc/pam.d and copied usr/sbin/vmware-authd into the directory. NOTE: Due to some restrictions on my server, I cant have the / in front of the etc on one of these pages. When you create pam.d make sure you get it in the proper place. That etc should have a / in front of it.

thanks for any help!!
Cheers
Danny

Hey
sorry for extra post

src2pkg -B -C -e='--libdir=/usr/lib --sbindir=/lib/security --enable-securedir=/lib/security --enable-read-both-confs'
Linux-PAM-1.0.1.tar.gz

could i have gotten this wrong.

My vmserver runs fine without the rest of the tutorial being completed but i cant logon even with the root user and i have also now tried usr/bin #./vmware-config.pl
this did not help after i reconfigured vmware...

Can you explain what your aim is? Are you trying to use the same users and groups from the host machine?

I would just like to setup some logins for vmwareas at the moment i cant login at all.

I could use them from the host if needed but it really dosn't matter, Im just trying to figure out where i went wrong and get my vmserver install working and at least 1 login working so i get a better idea of what i need to do to get it working the way i want it.

Reasons not to double post: Did you solve your problem as stated in this thread?

I'm not sure I follow you. When I set up a VM, I set up the users and groups IN the VM?

Lol I know the double post i thought would get deleted so i could only have one but yes fixed the problem now im starting on my next project which I'll probable post on here soon

Cheers
Danny

any chance of explaining what your aim was, and your solution, the community may be interested?
