It just occurred to me that I'm already doing this on my laptop. Oops.

Go here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896649.aspx and grab their "PsTools Suite". Unzip it in a directory somewhere, then create a shortcut to psshutdown.exe. You can experiment with the options if you want -- I'm using "-h -t 00".

I believe the first time you run it, there's some pop-up about a license or something (it's been a while for me, so my memory's a bit foggy ). After that, it never re-appears.

I will have to check that out as soon as I get in tonight and am able to sit in front of the pc. I will let you know if I am able to get that to work. Thanks again!

telnet works for me - even with a different port. The app itself not - any hints?

Ok, I installed rdesktop-cli from the catalogue and using ssh I can now connect to my home WinXP machine running WinSSHD, establish a tunnel and then rdesktop-cli through the tunnel for a safe remote desktop session :-)

Questions:
1) This is not really rdesktop related, but how do I prevent the ssh client from opening a shell? I just want to use it to establish the tunnel.
2) I use rdesktop-cli in fullscreen mode, because else I can't see the taskbar. However, I don't know how to terminate the program without killing it (using the power button), since I can't get away from the remote desktop. How should I do this?
3) Any tips on how to (safely) store passwords? I use keyboard (username/password) and public key authentication for ssh. After this I have again to input username/password for rdesktop. I'd like to know how to bypass typing these passwords, if at all possible.

I have no idea, sorry.

Create a shortcut to "%windir%\system32\tsdiscon.exe". That program disconnects your terminal session.

If you have ssh keys, you should be able to put your public key in the remote computer's authorized_keys file. If you didn't use a password on your private key, you should be able to login to the remote computer without entering a password. See http://immike.net/blog/2007/08/06/pa...ther-ssh-tips/ for a step-by-step tutorial.

I don't have any ideas for the rdesktop password, as I don't have my N900 yet.

Actually, right click on desktop, click create new > shortcut, type in shutdown -h as the location. Much easier, no need for psshutdown... shutdown is built in to all windows anyway. (i think)
