This definitely should not be happening. Hey, waitasec. Not crashing from the console, but it is through the terminals, eh? In that case, we might be seeing an X11 (on the client) issue. Back when I was running UltraSPARC thin clients, I was using a release-candidate set of binaries of XFree86 4.4 (just before the Big Split). See, I had Red Hat Linux 6.2 installed on the Ultra 5 boxes' hard disks, which uses XFree86 3.3.6. The LTSP X11 binaries in /opt/ltsp/sparc were XFree86 4.4rc. TuxType and TuxMath would intermittently crash on me when TFTP-booting in normal LTSP style. However, when I booted RHL 6.2 and had XFree86 3.3.6 do an XDMCP query, then TuxMath ran fine, but TuxType would simply not run at all due to the ancient X11 version. Maybe this is what's biting you as well with rdesktop. --TP _______________________________ Do you GNU!?

Thank you for the suggestion! I have moved the old rdesktop and compiled a new version using the source code at the website you provided. I did notice some improvements, such as it defaulting to a higher color depth. Unfortunately, the issue still follows. There is a segmentation fault that happens when we attempt to login. It's also worth noting that the issue does NOT occur when using rdesktop from console. It only occurs when launched through a terminal.

Here's what I did. Try downloading the rdesktop source code and installing it (it should install into /usr/local by default). Then, try renaming /usr/bin/rdesktop to, say, /usr/bin/rdesktop.orig, and then symlink your new rdesktop to /usr/bin/rdesktop. What we're trying to do here is see if the rdesktop executable got FUBAR'd or if there's some other library that it's looking for but can't find. When you compile it, it will compile specifically for your libraries and shouldn't have any problems. </pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Terrel, I am running updated to the gills version K12 6 on 3 servers and a laptop. The issue is new - it came after the yum update a few days ago, but I became aware of it only a few hours ago.

What version of rdesktop are you running? Could it be that yum update also updated rdesktop to 1.5, and 1.5 might itself be buggy? A couple of other folks have pointed out that "downgrading" from rdesktop 1.5 to 1.4.x seems to make the problem go away. I do happen to be using 1.4.1. --TP <div class="moz-signature"> _______________________________ Do you GNU!? <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div> </body> </html>
