Right. I am not running it chrooted either, but since running vmware has
been kinda voodoo magic... :)
Did you use the "/etc/init.d/vmware" script to start VMWare?
Yes
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?
Yeah... Thanks for the pointer : that's it !
Well it seems that in spite of correcting /etc/vmware/pam.d/vmware-authd
it was still looking for the former location of libraries.
In fact I read your email the wrong way. There are two vmware-authd
files for configuration, one /etc/vmware/pam.d/vmware-authd which i
edited and served no purpose. The other in /etc/pam.d
Finally i made a symlink from /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd to
/etc/vmware/pam.d/vmware-authd and it works.
Thanks a lot ! :)

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 :/

I am running "Linux saidin 2.6.14.3 #1 SMP Sat Dec 10 11:17:02 EST

x86_64 GNU/Linux" on an ASUS A8V-Deluxe+Wifi + AMD64 3800+ x2.
I went through similar problems trying to get GSX 3.2 running. Here
is my "quick list" of steps that got me working in case I have to do it
again:
. Get AnyAny update
. install ia32-libs
. install ia32 base Debian to /emul/ia32-linux (chroot location) using
debootstrap . install GSX . update /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd to point to
the /emul/ia32-linux libs directory (otherwise authentication via
vmware-authd won't work)
My main stumbling point was not using debootstrap to set up a full
ia32 chroot (ie. ia32-libs is not enough). Once I had done this,
compiling the vmware kernel modules and running vmware wasn't a
problem. I followed the instructions in
https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.
html
for running debootstrap.
Cheers
Michael

you would most likely need to run vmware in a proper chroot the other
problem is kernel modules, im not sure if they work for 64bit kernels.

Hi I have problem to get work VmWare. I read some post and try these
solutions, but I don't get to work it.
I have AMD64 system and have ia32-libs package installed. Has VmWare
sources in "/usr/local/src/vmware-distrib" directory, and
vmware-any-any-update96 path on
"/usr/local/src/vmware-distrib/vmware-any-any-update96" directory.
# dpkg -l |grep ia32
ii ia32-libs 1.5

Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to
configure it for your running kernel by invoking the following
command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the
command for you now? [yes] ....

At end of this process:
