      Does any know the current status of the vmtools update for vsphere(ESX/ESXI) 4.0 AND 4.1 ?
      Is there a dev package or download that I could use/create to create my own package update for vmtools?
      I have about 25 pfsense firewalls running within ESX and would like to get the vmtools upated.
      Ideas are appreciated!
      Thanks,
      Pat B ;D

        Take a freebsd VM running 7.3 (pfsense 1.2.3) or 8.x (pfsense 2.0) and install (really compile) vmware tools for the vm. Once you are happy with the functionality/stability of them copy the three .ko files over to your pfsense installs and bind them to the kernel loader.conf
