hello,
I've take a try at writting a manpage for rdesktop. It is attached. I
have not used rdesktop much as yet, but I took the information from the
website, usage information, and what I gathered from the source.
Let me know of any corrections or additions that may serve as valuable.
I want to add a "common usage" section to the man page showing how the
command could be ran in different ways. Just 2 or 3 examples from easy
to difficult.
Also maybe mention tweaks to get some configurations running.
let me know,
-Kervin
