VMware & Samba on Linux

VMware:

sudo apt-get install xinetd
sudo apt-get install libX11-dev
sudo apt-get install xlibs-dev

tar -xzvf VMware-server-1.0.2-39867.tar.gz
cd vmware-server-distrib/
sudo ./vmware-install.pl

Client Install:

unzip VMware-server-linux-client-1.0.2-39867.zip
tar -xzvf VMware-server-console-1.0.2-39867.tar.gz
cd vmware-server-console-distrib/
sudo ./vmware-install.pl

Made it so the VMware console (port 902) does not listen on all interfaces:

sudo vi /etc/xinetd.d/vmware-authd

bind = 127.0.0.1

I did not enable host-only networking during install. To reconfigure VMware server:

sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

My important settings:

Would you prefer to modify your existing networking configuration using the
wizard or the editor? (wizard/editor/help) [wizard] editor

The following virtual networks have been defined:

. vmnet0 is bridged to eth0
. vmnet1 is a host-only network on private subnet 172.16.173.0.
. vmnet2 is bridged to eth1

In which directory do you want to keep your virtual machine files?
[/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines] /data/vm

Samba:

sudo apt-get install samba

Add samba user:

sudo smbpasswd -a dustin

/etc/samba/smb.conf:

workgroup = NETJITSU
interfaces = vmnet1
writable = yes
path = /data/

Samba will not listen on anything other than my host-only network.

For some reason my changes did not take effect upon Samba restart. A manual stop then start did it:

sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop
sudo /etc/init.d/samba start
