Task To Be Done

Next Release

• PKB: Figure out how to get the new open-vm-tools package compiled and running without segmentation faults in the vmware-user and vmtoolsd utilities.

• PKB/RWH: Figure out how to work around Nagios packaging issues (where nagios-plugins are installed prior to the nagios package). See bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499446

• PKB: Check on existence of *persistent* files under /etc/udev/rules.d in the VMware image.

• PKB: Create our own version of the p7zip package with the UNRAR plugin enabled as Ron really really wants to be able to extract RAR files and isn't happy with the unrar package. Here are Ron's notes:
