Xrdp uses Xvnc or X11rdp (which are installed separately) to manage +the X session. + +Xvnc can be installed by installing tightvnc (available on SlackBuilds.org). +X11rdp can be compiled and installed by following the directions in the +thread at http://tinyurl.com/2ufoz2 (link to LinuxQuestions.org). + +By default, this script will make xrdp without PAM support since PAM is not +installed in Slackware by default. The script supports building with PAM, +but it is completely untested by us. If you want to enable PAM, run the +script as follows: + USE_PAM=yes ./xrdp.SlackBuild + +After installing xrdp there are some configuration files in /etc/xrdp that +can be modified. sesman.ini has some useful options to take note of such as +the ability to allow xrdp use by only a certain group and to specify the log +location (by default the sesman log appears in the program directory so this +should be changed). xrdp.ini should be modified so that you have the options +you want at the server login screen. For instance, if you want xrdp's default +options to be like those of a Windows RDP server then change xrdp.ini so that +the (by default) given sesman-X11rdp set is option xrdp1. +The man page for xrdp.ini has more details on the file. + +/usr/lib/xrdp/startwm.sh by default loads KDE during a session. Change this +as desired to load a different DE/WM. A similar script can be executed on a +per-user basis. See the sesman man page for more details. |
