On another note – the movie is pretty decent. If you are an fan of the regular FOX animated show then you’ll be pleased to get more of the same in a feature film format for this movie.

The major difference I noted is that The Simpsons Movie makes use of the CG effects used for Futurama instead of the purely hand-drawn format typical of the Simpsons TV animation.

Overall I’d give it a 4 out of 5 because 3 is too mean and 5 is too good. It’s “pretty okay”.

I’ve looked all over the place for answers and people have posted their pam configuration files in a few forums here and there and nothing seems to help with my install of Mandriva 2007 Spring.

How did I fix it then? Knowing what daemon and config file I was dealing with I simply went into the /etc/pam.d directory and found a suitable service that used local users to authenticate. This is all I wanted anyway. I want to be able to log on using the users from my server. Well guess what I did? I copied that file over top of /etc/vmware/pam.d/vmware-authd.

It worked beautifully!

You may want to add the line “open_only = 0.0.0.0″ to the configuration in /etc/xinetd.d/vmware-authd as well. I did this but I’m not sure if it made the difference or not. While logging in this change still presented me with invalid username/password errors.

Well I hope this helps someone in a similar predicament.

If you would like help setting up your configuration just leave comments.
