In Debian Edu/Squeeze, we install xrdp in the Thin-Client-Server
profile.  When I set up a combined Main-Server+Thin-Client-Server log in
as the localadmin user and start 'rdesktop tjener', the login prompt
show up and I enter the password, but the RPD session do not start
properly.  These are the messages shown in the rdesktop window when the
connection fail:

  connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350
  sesman connect ok
  sending login info to sesman
  xrdp_mm_process_login_response: login successful for display
  started connecting
  connecting to 127.0.0.5910
  error - problem connecting

When I press OK, the rdesktop session teminates.  When I try to log in
again, the login work fine.  I suspect this problem is a race condition,
where creating the vnc session actually worked but something tried to
connect "too early" and caused this failure.  The reason is that when I
tested the last time, I could hear the KDE login sound some time after I
tried to log in, but before I was able to try to log in again.

The machine I test on is rather old (Dell Latitude D505 - more than 7
years old), and do not have a lot of memory.  Could the machine speed be
related to the failure?

If you want to test this yourself, it is possible to install Debian Edu
on a virtual machine to give it a go.  Let me know if you want to do
that and I'll guide you through the process. :)
