rdesktop is a client for Microsoft Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000 |
6 |
Terminal Services, Windows 2003 Terminal Services/Remote Desktop, Windows XP |
7 |
Remote Desktop, and possibly other Terminal Services products. |
8 |
rdesktop currently implements the RDP version 4 and 5 protocols. |

Installation |
11 |
------------ |
12 |
rdesktop uses a GNU-style build procedure. Typically all that is necessary |
13 |
to install rdesktop is the following: |
14 |
|
15 |
% ./configure |
16 |
% make |
17 |
% make install |
18 |
|
19 |
The default is to install under /usr/local. This can be changed by adding |
20 |
--prefix=directory to the configure line. |
21 |
|
22 |
Note for CVS users |
23 |
------------------ |
24 |
If you have downloaded a snapshot of rdesktop using CVS, you will first need to |
25 |
run ./bootstrap in order to generate the build infrastructure. This is not |
26 |
necessary for release versions of rdesktop. |
27 |
|
28 |
Invocation |
29 |
---------- |
30 |
Simply run: |
31 |
|
32 |
% rdesktop server |
33 |
|
34 |
where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. (If you receive |
35 |
"Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have |
36 |
Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.) |
37 |
|
38 |
You can also specify a number of options on the command line. These are listed |
39 |
in the rdesktop manual page (run "man rdesktop"). |

Smart-card support notes |
42 |
------------------------ |
43 |
The smart-card support module uses PCSC-lite. You should use PCSC-lite 1.2.9 or |
44 |
later. |
45 |
|
46 |
To enable smart-card support in the rdesktop just run "./configure" with the |
47 |
"--enable-smartcard" option. Also you can enable smart-card debug with |
48 |
additional "--with-debug-smartcard" option. |
