Porteus

hi

i'm able to run Porteus on VMWare no problem.

vmware tools installed no problem, no error.

but, when i try to run i get

Unable to copy to source file
/usr/lib/vmware-tools/configurator/pam.d/vmtoolsd to the destination file
/etc/pam.d/vmtoolsd.
Execution aborted.

i notice the pam.d directory does not exist.

any help?

thx!

You can try to run as root:
(and then put the password 'guest')

Or try to create the folder before running the command above:

thx for reply.

already running as root (that's how installed the tools).

i thought of manually creating the folder, but concerned that's a workaround which does not address some bug (a bug which may continue to affect the setup).

creating the folder manually was the fix.

thx!
