description |
The tools.conf template shipped with Ubuntu (debian/local/tools.conf) is incorrect.
It's current contents:
bindir = "/usr/bin"
do not mean anything to open-vm-tools - it's not interpreted in any way by vmtoolsd.
Moreover, on the first launch this content is cleared by a piece of code doing a "config upgrade".
I believe replacing it with a more meaningful content is necessary. |
[Impact]
* The default tools.conf template shipped with the Ubuntu package is useless - it gets cleared on the first run as it contains an unrecognized content.
[Test Case]
* Install open-vm-tools.
* Check contents of /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf.
* Start vmtoolsd service e.g. by systemctl start open-vm-tools.
* Check tools.conf contents again.
Expected result:
Config is read an left untouched.
Actual result:
Config file is cleared.
[Regression Potential]
* If any of the parameters in the template is set to a non-default value
the behaviour of vmtoolsd may change slightly (e.g. different log verbosity, log target - file vs. syslog).

But people will get the usual conffile changed prompts, so those who modified it will have to consciously decide which makes it safe.
