Problem: You install VMware Server and try to connect with the VMware Server Console but get "Connection refused."
Solution: vmware wants to run 'vmware-authd' from xinetd. You must install xinetd and put the following file in /etc/xinetd.d/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 }
I am not sure why it is relying on xinetd and why it doesn't simply start vmware-authd as a service if xinetd is not found. Maybe I missed something during the install.
