FWIW, xrdp compiles with minor mods to the Makefiles (remove all references to -ldl). After install it appears to require a VNC server running on localhost:5910. After pointing krfb to listen on 5910, I was able to connect to my FreeBSD box using mstsc.exe from a Windows XP box. There's hope that it's a relatively easy port. HTH, Micah
