.SH DESCRIPTION
.I rdesktop
acts as a window terminal services client for Windows NT terminal servers and
Windows 2000 terminal services either in administration or licenced mode.
rdesktop implements the RDP version 4 protcol as used by Windows NT4
Terminalserver. Various mailinglistmembers wrote patches for rdesktop which
implement RDP version 5. RDP 5 is used by Windows 2000 Terminal Services. At
this time the patches are not merged in the main codebase but distributed
seperately. See the links section for URLS.

can be used for autologon. On win2k the username is prefilled on the username
box.
