Can’t connect to WinServ 2008 SP2: “internal license error”

Problem:

$ rdesktop -n 184d 192.168.2.5
Autoselected keyboard map en-us
disconnect: Internal licensing error.

User 184d can connect ONLY ONE TIME, and after disconnect it fail again.




Solution:


The workarround that I find, until a patch for this bug is released, is to do:

# chown -R root.root /home//.rdesktop

and just in case:

# chmod -R 444 /home//.rdesktop

then just delete the license. file and it work like a charm :D

I’m using rdesktop 1.6.0 with Ubuntu 9.04, trying to connect to a Windows
2008 Enterprise 64bit with SP2.
