rdesktop [options] server[:port]
-u
Username for authentication on the server.
-d
Domain for authentication.
-s
Startup shell for the user - starts a specific application instead of Explorer.
-c
The initial working directory for the user. Often used in combination with -s to set up a fixed login environment.
-p
The password to authenticate with. Note that this may have no effect if "Always prompt for password" is enabled on the server.WARNING: if you specify a password on the command line it may be visible to other users when they use tools like ps. Use -p - to
make rdesktop request a password at startup (from standard
input).
-n
Client hostname. Normally rdesktop automatically obtains the hostname of the client.
-k
Keyboard layout to emulate. This requires a corresponding keymap file to be installed. The standard keymaps provided with rdesktop follow the RFC1766 naming scheme: a language code followed by a country code if necessary - e.g. en-us, en-gb, de, fr, sv, etc. The default is en-us (a US keyboard).
-g
Desktop geometry (WxH). If geometry is the special word "workarea", the geometry will be fetched from the extended window manager hints property _NET_WORKAREA, from the root window.The geometry can also be specified as a percentage of the whole screen, e.g. "-g 80%".
-f Enable fullscreen mode. This overrides the window manager and causes the rdesktop window to fully cover the current screen.Fullscreen mode can be toggled at any time using Ctrl-Alt-Enter.
-b Force the server to send screen updates as bitmaps rather than using higher-level drawing operations.
-B Use the BackingStore of the Xserver instead of the integrated one in rdesktop.
-e Disable encryption. This option is only needed (and will only work) if you have a French version of NT TSE.
-E Disable encryption from client to server. This sends an encrypted login packet, but everything after this is unencrypted (including interactive logins).
-m Do not send mouse motion events. This saves bandwidth, although some Windows applications may rely on receiving mouse motion.
-C Use private colourmap. This will improve colour accuracy on an 8-bit display, but rdesktop will appear in false colour when not focused.
-D Hide window manager decorations, by using MWM hints.
-K Do not override window manager key bindings. By default rdesktop attempts to grab all keyboard input when it is in focus.
-S
