+xrdp - Remote Desktop Server for Linux
+
+Xrdp provides a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting
+connections from rdesktop and Microsoft's own terminal server/remote desktop
+clients. Xrdp uses Xvnc or X11rdp (which are installed separately) to manage
+the X session. This means a RDP client can connect to a VNC server on the
+xrdp server machine in addition to the RDP server. Xrdp can also act as a
+bridging server, allowing RDP clients to connect to other RDP or VNC servers
+through the xrdp server.
+
+Xvnc can be installed by installing tightvnc (available on SlackBuilds.org).
+X11rdp can be compiled and installed by following the directions in the
+thread at http://tinyurl.com/2ufoz2 (link to LinuxQuestions.org).
+
+By default, this script will make xrdp without PAM support since PAM is not
+installed in Slackware by default. The script supports building with PAM,
+but it is completely untested by us. If you want to enable PAM, run the
+script as follows:
+ USE_PAM=YES ./xrdp.SlackBuild
+
+After installing xrdp there are some configuration files in /etc/xrdp that
+can be modified. sesman.ini has some useful options to take note of such as
+the ability to allow xrdp use by only a certain group and to specify the log
+location (the default log location has been changed to /var/log/sesman.log).
+xrdp.ini should be modified so that you have the options you want at the
+server login screen. For instance, if you want xrdp's default options to be
+like those of a Windows RDP server then change xrdp.ini so that the default
+set of options under [xrdp1] corresponds to sesman-X11rdp. Similarly, you
+might want to change the options (eg. port number) for VNC (listed as
+"console" by default). The man page for xrdp.ini has more details on the
+file.
+
+/etc/xrdp/xrdp-xinitrc by default loads KDE during a X11rdp session. Change
+this as desired to load a different DE/WM. A similar script can be executed
+on a per-user basis by creating an executable script at ~/.xrdp-xinitrc. A
+utility program, xrdp-xwmconfig, is included to allow you to use your xinit
+scripts during X11rdp sessions. It works just like xwmconfig, so run it as
+root to set the global default, or run it as a normal user to set only the
+default for that user. See the sesman.ini man page for details about
+defining different names or locations for the X11rdp startup scripts.
