vi /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=disabledreboot
Step 1:
#rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm
#rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
#yum -y update
#yum repolist
Step 2:
#yum install -y xrdp tiger-vncserver autoconf automake libtool openssl-devel pam-devel libX11-devel libXfixes-devel
Step 3:
Download the latest version of xrdp. That’s probably going to be 0.6.0. Unzip/tar it to a folder on your desktop
#cd /home/username/Destkop/xrdp-v0.6.6/
#chmod u+x bootstrap
#./bootstrap
#chmod u+x configure
#./configure
#make
#make install
This will compile a bunch of stuff.
#groupadd tsusers
#groupadd tsadmins
Fantastic. All the easy work is done, now let’s modify a bunch of config files manually.
Step 4:
#nano -w /etc/group
Now add these two lines to the group file. Note it is group, not groups.
tsusers:x:501:YOURUSERNAME
tsadmins:x:502:root
Setting up the password for xrdp/vnc
#su YOURUSERNAME
#vncpasswd
Insert your password twice
#exit
To return root user
Edit VNC server files
#nano -w /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
Add to end of vncservers file. You can adjust the resolution from
microsoft’s RDC app, but it’s good to have a resolution to start with.
VNCSERVERS=”1:YOURUSERNAME”
VNCSERVERARGS[1]=”-geometry 1355×768 -depth 16″
Edit another text file
#nano -w /etc/rc.local
Dump this line at the end on a new line
/etc/xrdp/xrdp.sh start
And then start up the service. Awesome. You shouldn’t need to muck
around with the firewall, but if you do the port number is 3389
#chkconfig vncserver on
#service vncserver start
#/etc/xrdp/xrdp.sh start
And… behold! Hopefully it was worth it.
