長期有關注網路安全部落格的朋友應該有發現，最近網路安全部落格裡涉及linux的文章多了。呵呵，向前一篇提升liunx安全的幾種方法文章就有介紹了關於linux下提升安全係數的方法。今天在虛擬機器中想上網，整了半天，竟然有人跟我說是沒有安裝VMTOOLS的原因。以前在Ubuntu下是沒有安裝也能上。不過為了上網死馬當活馬醫了。弄了篇LINUX 虛擬機器上安裝vmtools的文章。希望大家會喜歡。

首先啟動VM_Linux系統 啟動後 在虛擬機器選單欄點“虛擬機器” 然後點“安裝VMware Tools” 然後虛擬機器會載入CD-ROM…有.TAR檔案 也有RPM檔案，我選擇了.TAR檔案（看網上的文章說相容效果能好點），
我是對其進行雙擊解壓的，將解壓檔案放在了/root的目錄下面，然後新建終端，進入解壓後的目錄（即：/root/vmware-tools-distrib），輸入 ./檔名.pl（“/”前面有個小點），之後回車，我第一次好象沒有安裝成功，出現瞭如下的結果：

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
“/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox” during an X server session.

To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start

To make use of the virtual printer, you will need to restart the CUPS service

If you wish to configure any experimental features, please run the following
command: “vmware-config-tools.pl –experimental”.
