That's done by appending the option -0 to the rdesktop command. You're basicly telling the remote desktop client that you are logging on to the Terminal Server for administrative purposes. This comes in handy when some other user has logged on taking up the last license and you need to do administrative maintenance. -- Rens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Saw your email on rdesktop-users, but I didn't know of any such switch. But a few simple thoughts: Windows 2000 or 2003? If the latter, are the users in the "Remote Desktop Users" group? Can you logon as "administrator" - i.e. is the problem restricted to standard users? If Windows 2000 I seem to recall that there was a licensing problem in early versions...? Is your server licensed by user or device - I seem to recall that there is a problem connecting to Server 2003 from rdesktop with device licensing. 1.3 sounds old - might be worth trying a newer version of rdesktop? Errors in the server event log (a quick Google found http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_logon.htm)? Sorry I cannot be more helpful.
