Side question...

I want to run the vmware tools on my gentoo VM (so the host can safely=20
power it down), but it also requires modules.

For security reasons I have never enabled modules on my servers, but...

Is there a way to do this securely, so that *only* the necessary modules=20
could ever be loaded?

Thanks
