I am totally confused as to what and why you are wanting to put your Arch server between the employees and the RDP session to the windows server?? Where is the code they produce stored? Windows? Arch Server? Mike didn't mention an Arch server. He has a Windows server and ten PCs. He wants each PC to be a dumb RDP terminal to the server. He is considering running `the Arch system' on each dumb PC to provide the RDP-terminal functionality, e.g. an X server and RDP client.
Ralph, Oh, oh, that makes sense. Yes, just load arch, load whatever lightweight desktop you like. I like both i3 and fluxbox, but prefer fluxbox. A lightdm type DM is fine. With fluxbox, I would just configure the autologin to the windows RDP session via the ~/.fluxbox/startup file. I don't use AD/kerbose, etc.., but I see no reason you couldn't do something similar. As long as you can invoke the RDP session from the command line -- you can put it in a startup file. I've always just used the rdesktop package from the community repository. Always worked fine. FM Good luck on the project and sorry for the confusion. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
