Hello, I've recently converted to Linux from Windows for my home OS, and have one particular problem that's been concerning me, that I hope you can help me with:
My office runs Windows 2000, with a Terminal Services connection to access it at home. However, with Linux, we needed a special plugin called 'Rdesktop' that I found on the internet, and downloaded. When I unzipped it, it all came to one directory containing a bunch of text files and scripts. (I have Red Hat 8.0) What should I do with this? I've been looking through help files and such, but can't find the answer. Thanks a bunch.
In the directory where you uncompressed the file you run the scripts
first
$ ./configure
then
$ make
And then finally the last should be run as root
$ su
(type password)
# make install
Be sure that ./configure or make doesn't come with any errors
Please note that Windows 2000/XP come with their own terminal services client access licence (TSCAL).
Using Linux will mean that the terminal services licencing server will have to issue one to your box. If you have any problems connecting to the terminal server, contact your administrator.
