Description Johan Hedin 2009-05-25 07:53:29 UTC

The PAX flags needed in order to run the bundled JVM on hardened are not set by the ebuilds. 

After setting them manually, the web ui starts.

paxctl -v /opt/vmware/server/lib/webAccess/java/jre1.5.0_15/bin/java
PaX control v0.5
Copyright 2004,2005,2006,2007 PaX Team <pageexec@freemail.hu>

- PaX flags: -----m-x-e-- [/opt/vmware/server/lib/webAccess/java/jre1.5.0_15/bin/java]
	MPROTECT is disabled
	RANDEXEC is disabled
	EMUTRAMP is disabled




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install vmware-server
2.Try to access http://server.ip/ui
3.

503 Service unaviable

This is beacuse PAX kills the JVM
