Selinux and vmware server

[sentry]

Has anyone got these two to play nicely together in Fedora 9?

The only way I seem to be able to run vmware server 2.0 is by disabling selinux entirely which is not something I want to do. I like having that extra layer of security.

Anyone???

(search isn't working atm so apologies if this has been asked before)

No. I am running a fresh install of VM Server 2 on a fresh install of F9 x86_64 (fully updated, 2.6.26.5-45). Just got it all setup in the last two days, only to find it isn't playing nice at all.

Looks like they don't play nice. Seems like a pam problem? Possibly only on x86_64. Are you running that version of F9?

See: http://communities.vmware.com/thread...tart=0&start=0

Have you had any luck figuring it out?

Unfortunately I was unable to resolve this issue and have resigned myself to running without selinux. I don't know enough about creating custom selinux policies to make this work.

I'm running the 32 bit version fyi
