[TriLUG] vmware switch user - linux host

[OlsonE at aosa.army.mil]

Did you make sure you deleted your *.vmx file before re-registering /
attaching to an existing console?

Subject: [TriLUG] vmware switch user - linux host

Hi folks.  I seem to have run into a problem this weekend switching
which user owned my VMs.  User1 was the previous owner.  I shut the VMs
down, then I used the Vmware Server Console (VSC) to unregister them (so
I thought).  I created user2, then chown'd the VMs to user2, went into
the VSC as user2 and was able to open and start the VMs.

However, then I went and deleted user1, closed the VSC and reopend and
was no longer allowed to access those VMs.  I wonder if this has only
some, none or all to do with the making the VM private option... if so,
how to adjust for that so I can switch owners AND keep the VMs private
under the new owner?

thanks,
David McD
