Terminal services are capable of load balancing. The problem is that rdesktop does not reconnect to a server with a running users-session. It gets balanced to one server, and stays there, even if a running session from the user is on another server. > 2.

Yes, you can either set the users shell on the windows-side to the required application, or specify the appliction-binary on the rdesktop command-line. > 3. Is there an alternative to rDesktop and Citrix that may work? I think there is the hob TS client Hoblink JWT: http://www.hob.de/ But it's java and I can't see any features which are not provided by rdesktop. > 4.

Use the newest rdesktop-version (1.4.0), as this one will give better error-reporting in the case something goes wrong and has other nice features and bug-fixes. > btw, I'd like the Windows the run on a Sun AMD box as well. This should IMHO be no problem. Regards, Michael _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
