n/a
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD server.rulingia.com 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #21: Wed Jul 10 19:50:48 EST 2013 root@server.rulingia.com:/var/obj/usr/src/sys/server amd64

virtualbox-ose-4.2.18-1

>Description:
	If the VNC extension is enabled (the default), the actual extension
	package is installed under the ownership of the person who built
	VBox, rather than root.  As a result, VBox refuses to use the VNC
	extension.

>How-To-Repeat:

server% VBoxManage list extpacks
Extension Packs: 1
Pack no. 0:   VNC
Version:      
Revision:     0
Edition:      
Description:  
VRDE Module:  
Usable:       false
Why unusable: The owner is not root: '/usr/local/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/VNC' (rc=VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT)

>Fix:
	sudo chown -R root /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks
