What Does the nstvmware Script Do?

The nstvmware script has several modes of operation and facilitates common tasks that one is likely to perform when booting the Network Security Toolkit within a VMware virtual machine. In particular:

• It allows one to quickly setup a Network Security Toolkit system running within a VMware virtual machine.
• It allows one to easily install the Network Security Toolkit distribution from the booted ISO image into the virtual disk.
• It allows one to quickly adjust the X settings for different environments. For example, if you have a laptop running at 1600x1200 with a 15.1 inch screen, try running: nstvmware -m xorg.conf --width 1600 --height 1200 --diagonal 15.1, and then restart your X server.
• It allows one to increase the effective font size for the X display. For example, if you have a laptop running at 1600x1200 with a 15.1 inch screen, try running: nstvmware -m xorg.conf --width 1600 --height 1200 --diagonal 12, and then restart your X server. In this case we are faking the screen dimension size smaller which has the effect of increasing the font size for the X display.
• It offers the ability to setup or install the Network Security Toolkit in a variety of "appliance" modes. For example, if you boot from the ISO image, and then run: nstvmware -m setup -a ntop it should put the Network Security Toolkit distribution into a "ntop" appliance mode.
