This was a quick one : thx to Christopher Saul who mentioned the existence of "rdesktop" (SourceForge freeware). Got it from "www.rdesktop.org", compiled without special options, and it worked. Kicked out Citrix and their dumb support contract. Life can be beautiful, even for sysadmins.

From these SunRay servers, they can also launch the Citrix client program to connect to 2 Citrix MicroSoft servers to give them access to Outlook, MS-Office tools, etc. Regularly, like now, nobody can get a connection with this Citrix client program to those Citrix servers anymore ("...dial-up or modem problems prevent connection ...") After struggling through the MS-jungle on these Citrix servers, it seems that there is a licenting issue : licenses seem to be allocated to different people who do not have any Citrix-session open anymore from any SunRay server. The version of Citrix we run apparently can only grant licenses based on the MAC-address of the client-host that makes the connection. Since in our case all client-programs make their connection on behalf of different users but using the same MAC-addr of the SunRay server, how can this properly work ? Has anybody experience with a correctly working combination SunRay (version 2 on Solaris-9) plus Citrix (version 1.2 on Windows-2000, Citrix client seems to carry version 6.30.1061 on Solaris) ? Desparately seeking for any good hint towards more detailed information about this combination ? TIA !
