The solution for an error with vmware and authentication on Fedora. Error occurs while logging in via the remote console or the webconsole. There is no loss of functionality if you do not apply this solution by the way. It's just more perfect like this. Don't we want that?
# vi /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd
2x /lib/security/pam_unix2.so aangepast naar /lib/security/pam_unix.so
Op Fedora 5 bestaat /lib/security/pam_unix2.so niet, /lib/security/pam_unix.so wel.
Foutmelding in secure log ziet er als volgt uit:
# tail /var/log/secure
