VBosVRDP on Mac OS X -> probably fixed in SVN

[cuso683]

When I use VBoxVRDP -startvm "xxx" on Mac OS 10.4.10 the virtual machine start, but I was unable to connect to it via either Remote Desktop connection or TSClient (rdesktop) with the followings errors:

remote desktop client (M$): Network problem caused you to be disconnected... rdesktop: an error as occurred...

I am connecting to localhost.

The vrdp remotization work correctly if I start the virtual machine from the GUI

With the GUI I have the following:

nmap -p3389 localhost

Starting nmap 3.70 ( ​http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2007-08-16 15:02 CEST Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): Unable to find nmap-services! Resorting to /etc/services PORT STATE SERVICE 3389/tcp open ms-wbt-server

with VBoxVRDP I had the following:

VBoxVRDP -startvm "Test" VirtualBox VRDP Headless Interface 1.4.1-beta2 (C) 2005-2007 innotek GmbH All rights reserved

Listening on port 3389

but nmap report:

nmap -p3389 localhost

Starting nmap 3.70 ( ​http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2007-08-16 15:05 CEST Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): Unable to find nmap-services! Resorting to /etc/services PORT STATE SERVICE 3389/tcp closed ms-wbt-server

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.175 seconds

The virtual machine seems to be working with no vrdp support

That should be fixed by now, although we haven't updated the mac host version yet.
