No. Like I said, I am connecting a linux box with itself. No windows box involved. I am testing the capabilities and features of rdesktop and xrdp. > Or c:\usr\bin\gedit ??

Other flags work when connecting to both linux and windows boxes. I am thinking that the linux rdp server software (xrdp) does not support the shell feature. I can not imagine that the rdesktop client would not support linux on purpose. Am I correct?
