[K12OSN] NWEA + rdesktop issues again

[Burroughs, Henry]

Tim,

I think the issue is with the LTSP client rdesktop wrapper script.  I
had to manually hack mine (4.2.3EL) because when I would run a shell on
the client, the rdesktop command line (under ps) showed an extra "-U"
and it would not start rdesktop.  I rewrote the wrapper (to not take a
parameter from the other script that calls it, so that may be where the
problem really lies) and it connects now.

I thought of that. When I had is working, it was on screen 2. I took it
off
because the terminals were randomly coming up to screen 2 instead of the
Linux login. I commented out screen 2. Then two days ago I put it under
screen 4 and no luck. I tried moving it to screen 2. No luck. I
restarted
the windows and linux servers. And I am on FC5.
