VMware Server 2.0 Permissions
From zen2
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware-mgmt stop sudo gedit /etc/vmware/hostd/authorization.xml
edit the line that talks about
<NextAceId>11</NextAceId>
increment it past the current "root" or administrator account you have.
so it now reads
<NextAceId>20</NextAceId>
Then
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware-mgmt start
