I've installed vmplayer on a RHEL3 Linux box and vmware server on an identical box.
I note that when I run the vmware server the vmware-vmx executable runs as suid root and the VM files only require to be writeable by root (except the vmx file). When I run vmplayer the vmware-vmx executable (with suid root permission) runs as the user and hence can't access the VM files unless the user has write permission. Is this by design or have I done something wrong? Angus
