[olug] rdesktop won't complete login

[Rob Townley]

Is the windows box a Terminal Server or XP PRO?
If it is a TS box, do you have licenses?

I have not tried rdesktop with XP PRO, but XP is much more particular
about having port 3389 and nothing else.  Redirecting 3389 on a TS box
is very common.
