RHBA-2011:1662 - tsclient bug fix update


Synopsis

tsclient bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated tsclient package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The tsclient utility is a GTK2 front end that makes it easy to use the Remote Desktop Protocol client (rdesktop) and vncviewer utilities.

This updated tsclient package fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the tsclient utility did not provide a "Client Hostname" option. Users experienced the "No valid license available" error message from the terminal server after many successful connections. To solve this problem an option to enter client hostname information, "-n", has been added. Now, the user can enter client hostname information and it will be passed to the rdesktop client. (BZ#667684)

All users of tsclient are advised to upgrade to this updated package which fixes this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
