Re: Script to verify user logon under linux

That worked great, many thanks!
 
But is it possible to run this on a server without X? Headless sort of.
I've tried with unset DISPLAY and I obviously get "ERROR: Failed to open 
display:"

Did a quick test. Modify rdp.c like this:

--- rdp.c   (revision 1630)
+++ rdp.c   (arbetskopia)
@@ -1451,6 +1451,7 @@
        case RDP_DATA_PDU_LOGON:
           DEBUG(("Received Logon PDU\n"));
           /* User logged on */
+         exit(0);
           process_pdu_logon(s);
           break;

Then, use a shell script like this:

#!/bin/sh
if timeout 20 ./rdesktop "$@"; then
     echo Successfully logged on
else
     echo Logon failed
fi

Peter
