Hi David,

I want to use the Arch system as a Remote Desktop node. The Arch system would use a login manager (such as lightdm) to authenticate users from Windows Domain. Once the user has been authenticated, the system is supposed to automatically open a RDP connection (using freerdp) to the Windows Server (if possible, using the credentials provided to lightdm so the user doesn't have to enter his password twice). As soon as the user quits the RDP session, his X-session should also be closed automatically. 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.
Thanks for summarizing it so elegantly.
