Hi

A few weeks ago I had the same problem so I wrote a keymap file for rdesktop.
I decided to test it for a while before sending it rdesktop-devel, now
I see that there's demand for it so I sent it to rdesktop-devel this
morning.

Those of you who can't wait until it goes into rdesktop's CVS can send
me private mail and I will attache the file to my reply.

Regards,
 Shlomil.

2005-05-20 Thread Ira Abramov
Quoting Maxim Vexler, from the post of Fri, 20 May:
 So I guess the question is 2 parted :
 1. How to open RDP connection from linux box (gentoo) to the server.

there's a free (GPL IIRC) rdp client. you can see what encryption it
uses.

 2. What would you recommend installing on the server for secure remote
 administration?

cygwin.com - download the basics, configure and set up sshd. lots you
can use from a bash commandline, but add to that the ability to tunnel
the RDP connection, and you're two steps ahead of the pack.

Ob-nag: you COULD dump it all and put GNU/Linux on instead :)

(you DID ask the linux-il list about w2k3 access or was my mind playing
tricks?)

 Hello list,
 
 I have a windows server that operates as standalone web server  mysql db.
 The only remote access that currently possible to the server is using
 ms-RDP protocol (Remote Desktop).
 I think that this is insecure (I am not aware of any recent RDP
 exploits but just in case...).

rdesktop

If there is a trusted linux machine on the same (trusted) subnet, simply
use ssh tunneling. You might manage to do this even with an ssh server
on Windows (and so ssh directly to it and use it for both minimal remote
administration and tunneling), but I did not try that. I am interested,
though - if you do please tell me (us? I don't know how other list
members consider this).

No option for trusted subnet, the server is sitting in bezeq server farm.
Could I tunnle RDP through ssh? (How?)

For ssh server on windows, Cygwin [1].

You're a genius, exactly what I was thinking.
How do I do that ? (tunnel RDP though ssh).

rdp uses a tcp connection - so basically you sohuld be able to tunnel it,
unless its authentication does not like seing the wrong IP address.

check /etc/services for the port number that rdp uses, and create an ssh
tunnel from the local (linux) machine to the remote (windows) machine, on
rdp's port. then connect with rdesktop to your local linux machine, and
see if it works or not.
