Use rdesktop to connect to Windows Terminal Services
Authored by: heathpitts on Dec 08, '03 12:31:22PM

The biggest problem that I see with this is that with rdesktop, you can't specify it to mount shared drives and printers from your client machine as you can in the MS Remote Desktop Connection Client.

Use rdesktop to connect to Windows Terminal Services

You can do both prrinters and diisks with the current CVS version of rdesktop, it works great.

I even whipped up a shell script to parse out your local printer names and automatically generate the rdesktop invocation dynamically so when I connect all my local printers show up. I still have to make sure I pick the right driver in Windows, but it's a start.
