Sorry for the OT question; I'm hoping someone else has a similar setup and ran into this same problem?
For some reason, not sure what I changed, my vmware server is no longer accepting the root login for the management console or web mui interface. I'm certain the password is correct, and I've even reset root's password to make sure. VMware seems to be running ok, I can access my virtual machines just fine, as well as start and stop the vmware service.
The host OS is centos 4.5 x86-64, nothing special, just a bare bones server install.
Any ideas on resetting what vmware considers the root password, or re-syncing it somehow?
Thanks- Gordon

It seems some files are missing for the vmware-authd process (that listen by default on tcp port 902). Have you verified your VMware-server rpm ? rpm -V VMware-server
