Similarly, users can log in and run specific applications, which are centrally managed by IT personnel. The standard client for Linux systems is rdesktop. Rdesktop is shipped with many Linux distributions and this paper briefly&nbsp;looks at common security considerations around using this client application in Windows environments. </P> <P mce_keep="true">Download <A class="" href="http://port25.technet.com/attachment/19593.ashx" mce_href="http://port25.technet.com/attachment/19593.ashx">Security Considerations for rdesktop and Windows Terminal Services</A></P> <P mce_keep="true"><STRONG>Note</STRONG>: This paper represents testing and documentation in a lab environment.

The most frequent implementation of that protocol is OpenSSH, originally written for the OpenBSD project but now ported to a wide variety of platforms. This paper will show how to use OpenSSH with the Kerberos portion of Active Directory to automate authentication.</P> <P mce_keep="true">Download <A class="" href="http://port25.technet.com/Videos/research/OpenSSH%20on%20Linux%20using%20Windows.pdf" mce_href="http://port25.technet.com/Videos/research/OpenSSH%20on%20Linux%20using%20Windows.pdf">OpenSSH on Linux using Windows/Kerberos for Authentication</A></P> <P mce_keep="true"><STRONG>Note: </STRONG>This paper represents testing and documentation in a lab environment.
