file /usr/local/bin/vmware
file /usr/X11R6/bin/vmware
ls /usr/X11R6/lib/vmware/bin

Very odd then that the date on your vmware binaries is April 5, 2005,
which is actually win linux_base was 7.1.  I think you got bit by the
very nasty I spoke of in moving vmware from /usr/local to /usr/X11R6
during the linux_base-8.8 update process.

Hummm.. this points out another ``nit'' seems we are not preserving
any dates of the original vmware distiribution during the install,
as I am sure we dont touch vmware-ping or vmware-smbd.

The files from the tarball of 2242 are:
