Can't say as this will solve your problem as you will still need "terminal services" licenses for the concurrent connections for client but..... www.rdesktop.org allows a linux desktop to access an NT server running terminal services to login as a client. One of the slickest reasons I like to use it, other than I don't have to install NT on my local linux box, is using a non-4/3 aspect ratio. Say something like 1024x1152. Very nifty tool. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
