RHBA-2013:1367 - rdesktop bug fix update
Synopsis
rdesktop bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated rdesktop packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The rdesktop packages provide a client for the Remote Desktop Server in Microsoft Windows. The rdesktop client uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to remotely present a user's desktop.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, the rdesktop client did not handle Windows Server 2008 licenses correctly. As a consequence, rdesktop was not able to connect to Terminal Services on the second connection with the following error message:
"disconnect: Internal licensing error"
This update modifies the underlying code to handle the Windows Server 2008 licenses properly, and rdesktop now connects to Terminal Services as expected. (BZ#642554)
Users of rdesktop are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
