CentOS - Sep 2008 - can't get KRDC to connect to remove Windows server - how to make it work?

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect to a remote Widnows server from my CentOS 5.2 / KDE
3.5.4-11, but everytime I try and connect I get the following error:

Could not start rdesktop: make sure rdesktop is properly installed

And I connect using krdc rdp:/remote.host.name - but I also tried krdc rdp:/
1.2.3.4 from the command line. It pop's up the preferences box, where I
specify the screen resolution, and then click connect.

How can I get connected to a remote Windows server from CentOS / KDE?

krdc is just a front-end to several different tools (rdesktop,
vncviewer, etc.), it will call rdesktop to effectively open the
connection, so you will have to install rdesktop if you want to
connect to Windows boxes using that protocol.
>From the error message, it looks like you don't have rdesktop
installed. "yum install rdesktop" should fix your problem.
