Hi Curtis,

You might mean logging on as a console user. That's done by appending 
the option -0 to the rdesktop command.
You're basicly telling the remote desktop client that you are logging on 
to the Terminal Server for administrative purposes. This comes in handy 
when some other user has logged on taking up the last license and you 
need to do administrative maintenance.
