Debian 9 Stretch, rdesktop 1.8.3-2+b1

Dear Maintainer,

When I try to connect to a Windows Server 2008 machine, the program finishes
with a segfault message

Workaround: I successfully connect after downgrade to "rdesktop_1.8.2-3+deb8u1"
(jessie version) and install "libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u6" (dependency), then
use "apt-mark hold rdesktop" so it wouldn't upgrade.

Not sure if the problem is only with rdesktop, since I can connect to another
server with the same version, but this server uses a different type of
licensing.

Hello Gabriel,

in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763599 (Nov. 2016) I found a solution for connection problems to Windows 2008 R2 (disconnect: Invalid licensing message). A newer version solved the problem. After this we got crash to connect to older Windows 2003 R2 (segfaults/ Speicherzugriffsfehler). With the old version for jessie we can connect successful. But in this case we got no connection to Win 2008 R2 any more. The solution for this is to install the original version from https://github.com/rdesktop/rdesktop. Now we can connect to older and newer versions of windows. But the version from git has a other bug if you start rdesktop without console. This we solved and now you can download the package from http://debian.b-c-s.net/dists/bcs/bcs/binary-amd64/x11/rdesktop_1.8.3-bcs_amd64.deb
I hope the package solves your problem and you can close the bug.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Carsten Burkhardt
