RE: Help to get VmWare run!!
Hi,
So you have got VMWare running, and the only problem now is authentication?
I have not touched the chroot passwd or group files, since I am not
*running* VMWare chroot'd - I believe in this case the "chroot" is only
there so all the correct 32bit libraries are available to VMWare.
Did you use the "/etc/init.d/vmware" script to start VMWare?
Do you have any log entries to show?
If it's only authentication that's a problem, can you post the relevant
lines from /var/log/auth.log?

Hello,
You're a precious man ! I got it all, and updated my pam.d/vmware-authd file
to point to the correct locations.
However, now, vmware-authd runs without segfaulting, but tells me
authentication errors. I modified the chrooted passwd and shadow files
accordingly. Yet, with any of the accounts mentioned in the chrooted or real
system tree, it fails :/
