I think you've misunderstood what rdesktop can do. If you want to share multiple Windows desktops from one machine, then you need something like Citrix. rdesktop is a client that just talks to a Citrix server, it's not a server per-se. If you just need 1 PC to 1 user, then you can get an XP Pro license and dedicated PC, the remote desktop server is built into it... Even if rdesktop has some server type mode, it wouldn't let you share Windoze desktops: XWin.exe only knows about X windows that it creates, and doesn't send events or examine non X windows... -- -Earle F.
