Re: numbers on keypad behave differently...

In case anyone else has this problem, it goes away if you use the "-N" 
(synchronize numlock) option for rdesktop.

Does anyone know if there's a way to set defaults for options (like -N), 
other than the command line?  I ask because our current version of krdc 
(which invokes rdesktop) doesn't seem to have a way to pass extra 
parameters.

Thanks.
