Re: Virtual environments security

["Eric Kollmann" <xnih13 () gmail com>]

VMware Workstation, Server (used to to be GSX Server) or ESX Server?

If ESX what version 2 or 3?  Assuming ESX then it is a configuration
problem since by default promiscuous mode is disabled.  In 2.x it was
a pain to turn on as I recall, but on 3 it is easier.  I guess that
isn't entirely true.  It can be found in the GUI in 3, but in 2 you
had to go in via the cmd line to do it.

Couldn't say on workstation or Server, but those are both host based
so anything is possible, but based on my tests of late I don't recall
seeing it in workstation.
