Re: [rdesktop-users] Automatic Login to Linux and rdesktop

Messagethe Terminal server will disconnect after a certain period of =
inactivty
the logon window.
what i do here is use kdm (or you can use gdm) w/ an automatic logon
and as a backup method, a short time delayed automatic logon
that bumps them into a custom x-environment via .xstartup/.xinit that =
uses xdialog to present them with a buttons that say "Connect to Windows =
2003", "Connect to Windows 2000", "Shutdown Workstation", "Reboot =
Workstation"

  Hey All,

  I am a bit of a newbie to Linux and would like to ask a question.  I =
work for a church and in trying to save them some money I want to be =
able to use some of the really old PCs that get donated by running Linux =
(preferably red hat) on them.  Then I want the users to be able to logon =
to the Windows 2003 Terminal Server in our office with the least amount =
of effort since these people have little to no technical skills.  What I =
would like to have happen is have red hat boot up and automatically =
login to a generic user account and then automatically launch rdesktop =
in full screen mode.  That way to the user it will look just like they =
are logging onto a windows box and won't freak them out too much.  Does =
anyone know how to set this up or know of any place on the web that =
documents how to do this?  Thanks so much for your assistance!!
