Hi All, Actually, I was doing a bit of work with FreeRDP recently and they have a Shadow Server (https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/tree/master/server/shadow) that actually worked to some degree when I compiled it on Debian, and Ubuntu. IT does not give a login like GDM but requires that you give the login/pass credentials which did work from a Windows RDP client to a Linux machine. but was work in progress and now my core project is becoming Illumos based.
The only other FreeRDP related project that is similar to xrdp is one called OGON (https://github.com/ogon-project/ogon) which does give a login screen like xRDP and I was able to compile and test it on a VirtualBox fresh Debian setup to see how it worked which was also rather nicely. I personally really like the RDP protocol over VNC since it offers "channels" and things like audio, video streaming, USB devices, printers, and hard drive mappings can be done where as I did not see this capability in VNC.
