Re: rdesktop error

[Curtis Vaughan <curtis@npc-usa.com>]

you need to at least provide the IP address of your server; i.e.:
./rdesktop 10.0.0.1

However, whereas i prefer the full desktop, I include the option -i; i.e.:
./rdesktop -f 10.0.0.1

Due to a licensing issue that has arisen in my environment, however, I now 
have to include the -n option; i.e.:

./rdesktop -u curtis -f 10.0.0.1

Best of luck.
