Hello,

I run a FreeBSD CURRENT (r292778) amd64 in a VMware and have all ports
compiled from head too; the driver 'vmware' and 'vmouse' from the
xf86-driver ports are doing fine;

re/ the open-vm-tools I have two issues/questions:

1)
the /usr/local/bin/vmtoolsd is running with a config file which is not
provided by the port, not even as an example file; what should it
contain?

root@r292778:~ # ps ax | fgrep vm
   15  -  DL    0:00,00 [vmdaemon]
  599  -  R     0:04,10 /usr/local/bin/vmtoolsd -c /usr/local/share/vmware-tools/tools.conf -p 
10272  0  S+    0:00,00 fgrep vm
 9154  1  S     0:00,67 /usr/local/bin/vmtoolsd -n vmusr

2)
on KDE4 start it gives two messages related vmware:

root@r292778:~ # fgrep vm ~guru/startkde.log
11:35:00: vmware-user: could not open /var/run/vmblock
11:35:00: klauncher(9204)/kio (KLauncher) KLauncher::processRequestReturn: "/usr/local/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper" (pid 9741) up and running.

what is causing the error 'could not open ...' ?

Thanks

	matthias
