Tried both:

s...@pm2v40:~$ xrdp -version
Unknown Parameter
xrdp -h for help

OK, thanks for the advice. I will grab the curent git version, and compile
it. Are there instructions for using git to grab the source tarball? I have
never ahd to do that before.

RE: using preferibily vnc as backend.
Of I do that, I assume that the users will need to insall a VNC viewer on
thier PC's? While this is not totaly unacaeptable, it does sort of miss my
goal of letting users access this machine without having to install any
software on thier PC's. 

Thanks for the help!
