The main console for<br>management is through a web browser, virtual machines are supposed to<br>have security through isolation and here we are logging in as root<br>through a web browser, normally the weakest layer of resistance for<br>attacks from hackers. It seems to me that VMWare are sacrificing<br>security for functionality, maybe the ethical hackers can comment on<br>this with their specialist knowledge. Anyway I have gone back to<br>VMWare version 1.07 because of this, just for the record VMWare is not<br>my principal method of virtualisation, I also use Virtual Box, Xen,<br>Qemu etc. etc. I like to keep abreast of new developments in<br>virtualisation technology
so I use as many different methods as I can.<br><br>Gordon<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk<br></pre></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
