[TriLUG] vmware switch user - linux host

[David McDowell]

Hi folks.  I seem to have run into a problem this weekend switching
which user owned my VMs.  User1 was the previous owner.  I shut the
VMs down, then I used the Vmware Server Console (VSC) to unregister
them (so I thought).  I created user2, then chown'd the VMs to user2,
went into the VSC as user2 and was able to open and start the VMs.

However, then I went and deleted user1, closed the VSC and reopend and
was no longer allowed to access those VMs.  I wonder if this has only
some, none or all to do with the making the VM private option... if
so, how to adjust for that so I can switch owners AND keep the VMs
private under the new owner?

thanks,
