I would like to follow up with this and see if there are any changes recommended now (since it's a half year + later).
In the FreeBSD 10 ports collection there is xrdp (0.6.1), xrdp-devel (0.7.0) and x11rdp which appears the be the 5.0 r299 version. However, it looks like on github that the 0.6 branch last update was last year, the 0.7 branch was also last year, the 0.8 branch has fairly recent changes and then there is a head branch updated very very recently :) I have the xrdp 0.6.1 and x11rdp from ports installed and it seems to work so far :) My question, is 0.7 considered stable? How about 0.8? What major (if any) difference exist with these newer versions? Are they faster? More secure? etc.. Is my current setup from ports the best/recommended solution? Would it be worth it to pull the newer code from github and compile them manually? I also noticed that xrdp-devel from ports does not work with the x11rdp in ports, right? How do I use the version from redports or is there now a better way? Thanks! I'm happy to help out and test a few things if it helps the project. I've got a test box setup and I'm toying with a few ideas and this is part of that project.. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Koichiro IWAO" <m...@vmeta.jp> To: "Chris Lee" <labmonke...@gmail.com> Cc: xrdp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: 11/13/2013 7:39:57 PM Subject: Re: [Xrdp-devel] xrdp/freerds on FreeBSD >On Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 01:51:33PM -0600, Chris Lee wrote: >> Hello All, >> >> I am attempting to get a rdp service *without vnc* working on FreeBSD >> 9.2-RELEASE. > >I've already suggested you X11rdp but I have some updates after that. >X11rdp from master branch has been built successfully.
