Hi. I'm trying to get VMware Workstation 3.1 working under Red Hat 8
(yeah, 9's out now, but it was 8 when I started). It worked fine under
7.2, but other stuff needed to be upgraded in RH 7.2 and couldn't be
without a massive upgrade.
Anyhow, I got all of VMware's associated files copied over (by doing 'rpm
-qlp package.rpm | tar czT - -f vmware.tar.gz' or something like that).
I got the kernel modules built under RH8 (with lots of complaining about
-m486 being deprecated... I'll fix vmware-config.pl). The problem is that
vmware complains about 'permission denied' when reading the files which
emulate hda... in this case, /usr/lib/vmware/win2000/* . They're
-rw------- root root, and vmware is -r-sr-xr-x root root /usr/bin/vmware ,
and the disk is /dev/hda5 on / type ext2 (rw) . 'type vmware' returns
'vmware is hashed (/usr/bin/vmware)'.
I do this:
vmware &
ps ax -o user,command | grep vmware
and see
root /usr/bin/vmnet-dhcpd -cf /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf -lf /etc/v
eben vmware
eben vmware-ui -A 7 -B 4 -S -L /tmp/vmware-eben-2883.log -E none
eben vmware-mks -A 8 -B 5 -S -L /tmp/vmware-eben-2883.log -P 2883 -E none
Why is the OS not honoring the suid bit?
