Bonjour tout le monde,
I've just uploaded an SRPM for rdesktop, which is a client implementing the RDP 4.0 protocol as used by Windows Terminal Server (NT/2000/XP). The package name is rdesktop-1.1.0pl19.8.4-1mdk.src.rpm rdesktop was developed by Samba team member Matthew Chapman under the GPL license. It is mainly based on reverse engineering, i.e. wire sniffs. I reckon this could be a problem with all these copyright and patent laws nowadays. Then again, Samba is included in Mandrake so what the heck. The unofficial 'unified' patch by Peter Bystroem has also been included with this SRPM. I've made an M4 spec.in file in an attempt to make the SRPM distribution independent. This spec.in file takes a couple of optional arguments, e.g. you can build the RPM without the above mentioned unified patch. There also an option to build an SVGAlib version, for those low-RAM 486s you may have lying around. I've editted the resulting spec file in the uploaded SRPM a tiny bit, to accomodate the Mandrake guidelines. In case you want to try rdesktop but you don't have a Windows TS available, use this demo server (with permission): scylla.odyssey.securewave.com (158.64.60.49). It's a demo server made available by security company SecureWave as a showcase for their SecureExe product. Any suggestions, remarks, corrections etc. are much appreciated.
