|
|
Just installed vmware-server-2, when I start vmware now, firefox opens with a log in screen, unable to log in with any user name due to incorrect password errors, I found that making a symlink from /lib/security/pam_unix.so to /lib/security/pam_unix2.so allows root to get a "you do not have permission to log into the server" error, then adding root to the vmware group gives me "The server was unable to process your log in request. Please check with your server administrator." Same error with regular username also in vmware group
And from here I cannot find out where to proceed. If anyone ere has working vmware-server-2.0 please explain what steps you needed to take to log into the server.
Thanks. |

0000000000000,
You don't need that symlink.
Log in as root with your root password, than make your normal user an admin _________________ Regards,

prior to making that symlink every attempt at logging in gave me an "incorrect username or password" error |

solved:
apparently i needed to switch the order in /etc/hosts so that my self appointed hostname was listed before localhost
i do not like the new interface by the way >:0 |

0000000000000,
Your own hostname should not be on the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts
I hate the new interface too _________________ Regards,
