Shouldn't VMTOOLSUSER_BIN be changed to /usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper in the init script?
no, the suid wrapper is started, does some magic, spanws vmware-user without root rights and terminates itself. the SIGUSR signal has to go to vmware-user directly -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
