vmware on slackware 12.2
I just installed vmware server 2.0 on slackware 12.2 and when I run the command "vmware" it brings me to:http://localhost:8222/ui/# and asks for a user name and password.
What the heck is my user name and password? I was never asked to specify this. I have tried root and roots password along with my user name and password as Google suggested but neither one gets me in. |
When you installed VMWare, it should have asked for a user to run under. That is the username and password you need.
|
If not, try username: root and your root password
|
Like I said in my first post. I tried both of those suggestions and neither one of them worked.

do these warnings present a problem?

I used lusher00's pass word to log in but it still wont let me log in. |

It should use luser00's password, but I suspect since you haven't installed/started it correctly, that is causing the trouble. You can't log in if it isn't running. Also, VMware server 2 requires the PAM libraries to be installed before login works. Did you do that? If not, read this for how to do it. |
I followed the tutorial for installing PAM when I installed VMware. He said just run the install.pl script and accept the defaults so that's what I did. was that not the correct install procedure? where in the docs do I find the startup procedures?

Check to make sure that there is an executable vmware script in /etc/init.d and that there are links in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /etc/rc.d/rc4.d. If they are there, then it should be starting at boot. If they are not, then likely something went wrong with the install. As far as docs go, I've always found this to be the most useful. |
damn... that's exactly what im doing. I can see VMware starting up at boot and all the processes say they start up ok. when you run vmware in a shell, all it does is open up a browser. the browser opens to localhost port 8333 which is where it asks for the user name and password that I don't know. I have tried to login as root and with my user name and password. where am I going wrong?

Oh, one more thing. Did you install PAM before or after VMWare? |
I am missing the links in rc3.d and rc4.d. What should they look like? What should the link be called and what am I linking to? I have a file called vmware* in rc.d. Is that what I should link to? Somewhere I read that I should create r.0.d thourhg rc9.d in rc.d but I cant find that post anymore. Are those causing a problem?
|
This may be a problem. /etc/pam.d was not executable by any user so I made it executable by all users using chmod a+x. When I try to execute it I get:
lusher00@darkstar:/etc$ pam.d ./pam.d: line 2: auth: command not found ./pam.d: line 3: account: command not found Does this help? |

To be honest, I think the best solution at this point would be to uninstall what you've got and re-install from a fresh download. |
Ok your right the vmware startup script is in init.d no rc.d. I think my problem is that PAM is not starting correctly. I followed your tutorial to the t but I still get the "bas user name and pass word" when I try to log in which is exactly the problem you say I will have if I don't have PAM. Can we chat somehow, perhaps on IRC?

vmware-authd was a binary file??? Someone on IRC game me their vmware-authd which was:
#%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_unix.so shadow nullok account required pam_unix.so and now it works! |
