Re: using conserver to link vmware virtual machines to Raritan console servers

This is awesome.  Does what I need it to do.  I did see a problem 
when trying to gain access as a regular user

[cfowler@shuttle consoles]$ /opt/conserver/bin/console fc4
console: connect(): /tmp/conserver/0: Permission denied
[cfowler@shuttle consoles]$ sudo /opt/conserver/bin/console fc4
[Enter `^Ec?' for help]

Also if you kill -9 conserver you have to remove /tmp/conserver
manually.
