Bug Description
this is for the package vmware-server in the commercial repository but this cant be chosen from your list of packages
When installing vmware-server there is an error in the file /etc/pam.
the file is installed as follows:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient %pamdir%
auth required %pamdir%
account sufficient %pamdir%
account required %pamdir%
however the %pamdir%/ should not be in each line and instead it should read:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient pam_unix2.so shadow nullok
auth required pam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok
account sufficient pam_unix2.so
account required pam_unix_acct.so
This then allows people to remotely connect through vmware server console.
Also when installing on feisty server make is a dependency but is not installed so the install fails until make is installed

With vmware-server (1.0.3-1 ) in feisty-commercial module
/etc/pam. d/vmware- authd contains: vmware- server/ lib/libpam. so.0/security/ pam_unix2. so shadow nullok vmware- server/ lib/libpam. so.0/security/ pam_unix_ auth.so shadow nullok vmware- server/ lib/libpam. so.0/security/ pam_unix2. so vmware- server/ lib/libpam. so.0/security/ pam_unix_ acct.so
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient /usr/lib/
auth required /usr/lib/
account sufficient /usr/lib/
account required /usr/lib/
although pam_unix2.so doesn't exist. I symlinked pam_unix.so --> pam_unix2.so and it seems to work.
/etc/vmware/ pam.d/vmware- authd file exists too and contains the %pamdir% entries.
