[rdesktop-users] rdesktop 1.8.1 complex passwords not accepted

[tony b. <to...@vp...>]

rdesktop version 1.81.

I stop at the  win 7 login UI when using complex passwords which include
symbols even though i include the [ -p ] option in the command.  When i use
non complex passwords which do not contain symbols it works perfectly .
For example, the command below stops at the win 7 UI login.  I can than
enter the password interactively at the UI and login.

rdesktop -u username -p 123Rt&#!24 -f IP_ADDRESS


howerver, If I use this command which does not contain symbols I login to
windows perfectly.

rdesktop -u username -p 123liggy -f IP_ADDRESS


On the host machine, the windows 7 remote setting, i have it configured for
"Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop
(less secure).

thanx
