2rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client
3==========================================
4
5rdesktop is an open source client for Microsoft's RDP protocol. It is
6known to work with Windows versions such as NT 4 Terminal Server,
72000, XP, 2003, 2003 R2, Vista, 2008, 7, and 2008 R2. rdesktop
8currently implements the RDP version 4 and 5 protocols.
9
10Installation
11------------
12rdesktop uses a GNU-style build procedure. Typically all that is necessary
13to install rdesktop is the following::
14
15 % ./configure
16 % make
17 % make install
18
19The default is to install under /usr/local. This can be changed by adding
20--prefix=directory to the configure line.
21
22Note for Subversion users
23-------------------------
24If you have downloaded a snapshot of rdesktop using Subversion, you
25will first need to run ./bootstrap in order to generate the build
26infrastructure. This is not necessary for release versions of
27rdesktop.
28
29Invocation
30----------
31Simply run::
32
33 % rdesktop server
34
35where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. (If you receive
36"Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
37Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.)
38
39You can also specify a number of options on the command line. These are listed
40in the rdesktop manual page (run "man rdesktop").
41
42Smart-card support notes
43------------------------
44The smart-card support module uses PCSC-lite. You should use PCSC-lite 1.2.9 or
45later.
46
47To enable smart-card support in the rdesktop just run "./configure" with the
48"--enable-smartcard" option. Also you can enable smart-card debug with
49additional "--with-debug-smartcard" option.
