Package: vmware-package
Version: 0.12
Severity: wishlist
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Using the configuration for vmware-authd from /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd as
built by vmware-package fails to authenticate users on amd64 with vmware
server 1.0.3 using the vmware any-any patchset v113.
Steps to reproduce:
Authenticating using e.g. vmware-server-console from a remote machine
produces the following output in /var/log/auth.log:
(date, time, hostname and application name - the latter being
vmware-authd - were cut off to increase readability)
PAM unable to
dlopen(/usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so)
PAM [error: /usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
PAM adding faulty module:
/usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so
PAM (other) illegal module type: @include
PAM pam_parse: expecting return value; [...common-auth]
PAM (other) no module name supplied
PAM unable to dlopen(<*unknown module path*>)
PAM [error: <*unknown module path*>: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory]
PAM adding faulty module: <*unknown module path*>
PAM (other) illegal module type: @include
PAM pam_parse: expecting return value; [...common-account]
PAM (other) no module name supplied
PAM (other) illegal module type: @include
PAM pam_parse: expecting return value; [...common-password]
PAM (other) no module name supplied
PAM (other) illegal module type: @include
PAM pam_parse: expecting return value; [...common-session]
PAM (other) no module name supplied
This is due to the default /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd configuration:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok
account required /lib/security/pam_unix_acct.so
Changing it to use the system pam library makes it fail as well due to
the 32bit nature of the vmware-authd binary - on amd64 at least.
Suggested fix:
This problem can be solved using the pam libraries shipped with vmware
server, as suggested in [
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=426026 ], using the following
lines in /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient /usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so
shadow null ok
auth required /usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_auth.so
shadow nullok
account sufficient /usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix2.so
account required
/usr/lib/vmware-server/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_acct.so

Description:
vmware-package - utility for building VMware Debian packages
Closes: 440871
Changes:
vmware-package (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Install fixed i386/amd64 specific vmware-authd pam.d configs;
closes: #440871.
* Convert to an Arch: i386 amd64 package since these are the only
architectures supported by VMware, and cross-building will likely never be
feasible.
* Recommend a significant number of run-time dependencies in generated
VMware packages in vmware-package's control file.
* Introduce a vmware-modules-_KVERS_ virtual package in the various modules
packages to ensure mutual conflicts.
