VMWARE-USER-SUID-WRAPPER(8) Open VM Tools VMWARE-USER-SUID-WRAPPER(8)
NAME
vmware-user-suid-wrapper - wrapper programm for vmware-user(1)
SYNOPSIS
vmware-user-suid-wrapper
DESCRIPTION
Operations on the vmblock(9) filesystem are considered privileged, and as such may only be issued on a file descriptor acquired by root.
This is accomplished by vmware-user-suid-wrapper, a small setuid wrapper whose only purpose is to acquire a filesystem file descriptor,
drop superuser privileges, and then execute vmware-user(1). In particular, prepare the system for vmware-user means that it unmounts the
vmblock file system, unloads the vmblock module, then reloads the module, mounts the file system, and opens a file descriptor that vmware-
user can use to add and remove blocks.
OPTIONS
vmware-user-suid-wrapper has no options.
