mich...@eglarest-debian:~$ ls -la /usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/
total 284

I think, I finally understand: libvixUser.so and libresolutionSet.so
should be in vmusr and the rest in vmsvc. But in the Debian package
they're all together in the plugins directory, although the vmusr
plugins are installed with a separate package open-vm-toolbox.

I'll take it up with the Debian guys!

Thanks a lot!
