Hello, I've installed VMware-server-1.0.5 on some box running Linux (SuSE Enterprise 8); this VMware-server brings a console which connects to port 901 (default) and you can manage your virtual machines in the server with some graphical tool; as usual the VMware-server is only available for Windows and Linux, but I was hoping that the console is just VNC and I could manage it with, for example, vncviewer from my FreeBSD laptop -- no look, they use some other protocol; the console on Linux is just some scripting which launches a GTK application: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh /usr/lib/vmware/lib /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware /usr/lib/vmware/libconf and it could be that one could it make happy on FreeBSD too; has someone tried this out? or is there some other way to get this console running on BSD? thx in advance matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ Don't top-post, read RFC1855 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
