.I rdesktop |
10 |
is a client for Microsoft Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000 Terminal |
11 |
Services, Windows XP Remote Desktop, and possibly other Terminal Services |
12 |
products. rdesktop currently implements the RDP version 4 protocol. |

.SH OPTIONS |
15 |
.TP |
16 |
.BR "-u <username>" |
17 |
Username for authentication on the terminal server. |
18 |
.TP |
19 |
.BR "-d <domain>" |
20 |
Domain for authentication. |
21 |
.TP |
22 |
.BR "-s <shell>" |
23 |
Startup shell for the user - starts a specific application instead of Explorer. |
24 |
.TP |
25 |
.BR "-c <directory>" |
26 |
The initial working directory for the user. Often used in combination with -s |
27 |
to set up a fixed login environment. |
28 |
.TP |
29 |
.BR "-p <password>" |
30 |
The password to authenticate with. Note that this may have no effect if |
31 |
"Always prompt for password" is enabled on the server. WARNING: if you specify |
32 |
a password on the command line it may be visible to other users when they use |
33 |
tools like ps. Use -p - to make rdesktop request a password at startup (from |
34 |
standard input). |
35 |
.TP |
36 |
.BR "-n <hostname>" |
37 |
Client hostname. Normally rdesktop automatically obtains the hostname of the |
38 |
client. |
39 |
.TP |
40 |
.BR "-k <layout>" |
41 |
Keyboard layout on terminal server (us,sv,gr,etc.). This requires a |
42 |
corresponding keymap file to be installed (normally the keymaps are found in |
43 |
/usr/share/rdesktop/keymaps/ or /usr/local/share/rdesktop/keymaps/). |
44 |
.TP |
45 |
.BR "-g <geometry>" |
46 |
Desktop geometry (WxH). |
47 |
.TP |
48 |
.BR "-f" |
49 |
Enable fullscreen mode. This overrides the window manager and causes the |
50 |
rdesktop window to fully cover the current screen. Fullscreen mode can be |
51 |
toggled at any time using Ctrl-Alt-Break. |
52 |
.TP |
53 |
.BR "-b" |
54 |
Force the server to send screen updates as bitmaps rather than using |
55 |
higher-level drawing operations. |
56 |
.TP |
57 |
.BR "-m" |
58 |
Do not send mouse motion events. This saves bandwidth, although some Windows |
59 |
applications may rely on receiving mouse motion. |
60 |
.TP |
61 |
.BR "-e" |
62 |
Disable encryption. This option is only needed (and will only work) if you |
63 |
have a French version of NT TSE. |
64 |
.TP |
65 |
.BR "-K" |
66 |
Do not override window manager key bindings. By default rdesktop attempts |
67 |
to grab all keyboard input when it is in focus. |
68 |
.TP |
69 |
.BR "-T <title>" |
70 |
Window title. |
