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 :/

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

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]
