I just installed VMware-server-1.0.2-39867.i386.rpm under Fedora Core 6.
For some reason the installation script is not recognizing that I do
have an /etc/xinetd.d directory (See below).  Has anyone encountered
this before?

-Thanks



Please specify a port for remote console connections to use [904]

WARNING: VMware Server has been configured to run on a port different from t

The configuration will continue, but you should re-run

Are you sure that you have xinetd installed? I had to install xinetd when
I installed VMware Server, FC6 doesn't install it by default.

Son of a XXXXX!  No, xinetd is not installed.  I'm assuming on my
Linux workstation I don't have any dependent protocols that need
to be run under xinetd, like ftp.
