I have build and installed vmtools from source in my bit Centos 7, but have no idea how to make it run. I have files in /usr/local/bin :



VGAuthService vmware-checkvm vmware-hgfsclient vmware-rpctool vmware-user vmware-vgauth-cmd vmware-xferlogs
vmtoolsd vmware-guestproxycerttool vmware-namespace-cmd vmware-toolbox-cmd vmware-user-suid-wrapper vmware-vgauth-smoketest


I also have file /usr/local/etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop with content:



[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=/usr/local/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper
Name=VMware User Agent
# KDE bug 190522: KDE does not autostart items with NoDisplay=true...
# NoDisplay=true
X-KDE-autostart-phase=1


Ho to make vmware tools run? How to know it is running?
System restart not helped - I can't copy/paste from/ro host machine.



UPD



ps faux | grep vm



output:



croot 487 0.0 0.3 25140 7316 ? Ss 03:13 0:00 /usr/sbin/lvmetad -f g 26876 0.0 0.0 4952 908 pts/0 S+ 07:31 0:00 _ grep --color=auto vm


UPD



I was following build manual while building and installing tools



autoreconf -i
./configure --without-kernel-modules
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig



linux centos vmware

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
