Umm..no. In Windows-land, Terminal Services == rdp (port 3389 TCP) but
a terminal *server* is used specifically to allow mutliple (as in more
than the default limit of two) concurrent sessions and requires the
purchase of additional licenses. Now, *maybe* the OP really meant
terminal *services* but he wrote "secured Windows 2003 terminal
*server*", and that is a different animal altogether.
To the OP - here's what I get when testing from a FreeBSD box to one of
our servers:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] telnet hostname.utdallas.edu 3389
Trying 10.110.21.80...
Connected to hostname.utdallas.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
test
^C
login test
Connection closed by foreign host.
So, if a connection closed message is what you get, it appears to be a
timeout after a failure to authenticate. The access denied message you
cited appears to be a firewall or acl issue that prevents the server from
accepting connections from your FreeBSD box.
BTW, I use rdesktop routinely to rdp to various Windows 2003 servers, but
I haven't tested it against a terminal server. I'll try that and let you
know what I find.
