Not sure what the issue is, it seems that vmware doesn't detect the existence of xinetd on your system, in which case just put in the config by hand aphro at vmware2:/etc/xinetd.d$ cat vmware-authd # default: on # description: The VMware remote access authentification daemon service vmware-authd { disable = no port = 902 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/vmware-authd type = unlisted } And restart xinetd and off you go (if port 902 is in use then use another). The driver compilation looked like it worked fine(the message said it loaded perfectly into the running kernel). I'm not sure what sort of check vmware does for xinetd, but the error is harmless, not an indication of a compatibility issue with the distribution. nate
