Hi, xrdp runs Xvnc with a parameter that tells Xvnc to use $HOME/.vnc/sesman_$USERNAME_passwd as password file. This means that Xvnc (launched by xrdp will match the password against that file). See vncpasswd. So you have to create a $HOME/.vnc/sesman_$USERNAME_passwd with the same unix password and it should work! > 5.
