| 10 |
is a client for Microsoft Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000 Terminal |
| 11 |

| 12 |

.SH OPTIONS |
| 15 |
.TP |
| 16 |
.BR "-u <username>" |
| 17 |
Username for authentication on the terminal server. |
| 18 |
.TP |
| 19 |
.BR "-d <domain>" |
| 20 |
Domain for authentication. |
| 21 |
.TP |
| 22 |
.BR "-s <shell>" |
| 23 |
Startup shell for the user - starts a specific application instead of Explorer. |
| 24 |
.TP |
| 25 |
.BR "-c <directory>" |
| 26 |
The initial working directory for the user. Often used in combination with -s |
| 27 |
to set up a fixed login environment. |
| 28 |
.TP |
| 29 |
.BR "-p <password>" |
| 30 |
The password to authenticate with. Note that this may have no effect if |
| 31 |
"Always prompt for password" is enabled on the server. WARNING: if you specify |
| 32 |
a password on the command line it may be visible to other users when they use |
| 33 |
tools like ps. Use -p - to make rdesktop request a password at startup (from |
| 34 |
standard input). |
| 35 |
.TP |
| 36 |
.BR "-n <hostname>" |
| 37 |
Client hostname. Normally rdesktop automatically obtains the hostname of the |
| 38 |
client. |
| 39 |
.TP |
| 40 |
.BR "-k <layout>" |
| 41 |
Keyboard layout on terminal server (us,sv,gr,etc.). This requires a |
| 42 |
corresponding keymap file to be installed (normally the keymaps are found in |
| 43 |
/usr/share/rdesktop/keymaps/ or /usr/local/share/rdesktop/keymaps/). |
| 44 |
.TP |
| 45 |
.BR "-g <geometry>" |
| 46 |
Desktop geometry (WxH). |
| 47 |
.TP |
| 48 |
.BR "-f" |
| 49 |
Enable fullscreen mode. This overrides the window manager and causes the |
| 50 |
rdesktop window to fully cover the current screen. Fullscreen mode can be |
| 51 |
toggled at any time using Ctrl-Alt-Break. |
| 52 |
.TP |
| 53 |
.BR "-b" |
| 54 |
Force the server to send screen updates as bitmaps rather than using |
| 55 |
higher-level drawing operations. |
| 56 |
.TP |
| 57 |
.BR "-m" |
| 58 |
Do not send mouse motion events. This saves bandwidth, although some Windows |
| 59 |
applications may rely on receiving mouse motion. |
| 60 |
.TP |
| 61 |
.BR "-e" |
| 62 |
Disable encryption. This option is only needed (and will only work) if you |
| 63 |
have a French version of NT TSE. |
| 64 |
.TP |
| 65 |
.BR "-K" |
| 66 |
Do not override window manager key bindings. By default rdesktop attempts |
| 67 |
to grab all keyboard input when it is in focus. |
| 68 |
.TP |
| 69 |
.BR "-T <title>" |
| 70 |
Window title. |
