Topic

Updated rdesktop packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rdesktop package is an open source client for Windows NT Terminal Server and
Windows 2000 & 2003 Terminal Services, capable of natively speaking Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP) in order to present the user's NT desktop.

The rdesktop package has been upgraded to upstream version 1.7.0., which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version,
including fixes for incorrect cursor and scrollbar rendering. (BZ#852890,
BZ#914279)

This update fixes the following bug:

• Due to a bug in the rdesktop code, error messages were continuously displayed
  in the shell while rdesktop was used. This bug has been fixed and messages are
  no longer generated during an rdesktop session. (BZ#902912)
  

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• With this update, support for Terminal Services on clustered Windows Server
  2008 R2 machines has been added to the rdesktop package. (BZ#701246)
  

Users of rdesktop are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.
