xrdp - Remote Desktop Server for Linux Xrdp provides a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop and Microsoft's own terminal server/remote desktop clients. Xrdp uses Xvnc or X11rdp (which are installed separately) to manage the X session. Xvnc can be installed by installing tightvnc (available on SlackBuilds.org). X11rdp can be compiled and installed by following the directions in the thread at http://tinyurl.com/2ufoz2 (link to LinuxQuestions.org). By default, this script will make xrdp without PAM support since PAM is not installed in Slackware by default. The script supports building with PAM, but it is completely untested by us. If you want to enable PAM, run the script as follows: USE_PAM=yes ./xrdp.SlackBuild After installing xrdp there are some configuration files in /etc/xrdp that can be modified. sesman.ini has some useful options to take note of such as the ability to allow xrdp use by only a certain group and to specify the log location (by default the sesman log appears in the program directory so this should be changed). xrdp.ini should be modified so that you have the options you want at the server login screen. For instance, if you want xrdp's default options to be like those of a Windows RDP server then change xrdp.ini so that the (by default) given sesman-X11rdp set is option xrdp1. The man page for xrdp.ini has more details on the file. /usr/lib/xrdp/startwm.sh by default loads KDE during a session. Change this as desired to load a different DE/WM. A similar script can be executed on a per-user basis. See the sesman man page for more details.
