Greetings: We need to configure a single-host Win2k Terminal Server solution; this machine should provide Windows desktops on X-terminals. On a test machine using Cygwin/Xfree86 one may telnet from the X-terminal and establish an xterm (bash) session but 'rdesktop.exe' will not open a session on the remote display. 'rdesktop.exe' does open a session window on the console display if invoked from a console command prompt.
'rdesktop' running on a Unix host works well to provide a Windows session desktop on an X-terminal however we need to create a configuration which doesn't require a separate Unix host to provide X11 services. Also XDM running on Cygwin/Xfree86 will produce a 'willing to manage' broadcast and if the Win host is selected it does present a login screen but fails on authentication. Has anyone made XDM work?
