Greetings to all: The internet community has provided code and professional input into the development of the product you see attached here today. It supports NT4 and 2000 Terminal Server operations. I have included the site locations, in the attached .txt file, for where future updates and further information can be viewed. Special thanks can be ascribed to: Matthew Chapman, for developing this forum and the original code. Eric Newman, Michael Gibson, for their continued testing and input. Peter Bystrom, for programming the patches. I'm pretty sure that this list is inclusive, and am also sure the next release of rdesktop will include this unified patch, and be posted accordingly. GREAT JOB, and keep it up!!! Steven Deines
rdesktop-unified-patch18-9.bz2
Installation/Usage of Rdesktop-1.0.0.tar.gz from http://www.rdesktop.org/ Simply running make should be sufficient to build rdesktop; then run ./rdesktop -l server. The -l option will disable licence negotiation, which is probably what you want during testing. For information on other options, try ./rdesktop -?. Installation/Usage of rdesktop-unified.patch18-9.bz2 from http://bibl4.oru.se/projects/rdesktop/ the patchX directories contains the messages, and the originial diffes included in the corresponding unified patch, in incremental order, that is, diffs etc included in an earlier patch are not included in these directories, but they are present in the unified patch. Hopefully I didn't miss anything, but I probably have. If you wish you could provide me with a diff, "diff -ur origdir modifieddir". I prefere diffs either against the plain, rdesktop-1.0.0, or against the latest unified patch, preferably the unified patch since it simplifies a lot for me, specially if it's a large patch. ;) Now, I haven't debugged the code, and or tested it, I've simply merged anything I could find. Some of the patches, i.e. the 16-bit X patch included some of the other patches, I hope I didn't screw up too much. It seems to work anyway. How to apply the patch? more resent patches are compressed, use bunzip2 to uncompress them. untar the rdesktop-1.0.0 source, and rename it to rdesktop-patched. apply the patch. Something like this: "tar xzf ./rdesktop-1.0.0.tar.gz" "mv rdesktop-1.0.0 rdesktop-patched" "bunzip2 rdesktop-unified-patch15-1.bz2" "patch -p0 < ./rdesktop-unified-patch15-1" "cd rdesktop-patched" "make" remember to check the switches to the program, i.e. if you have a 16-bit X server use -D 16, or it will look weird.
