Thinstation 3.0 + Problem with ICA Client +postinst script

Hii,
I am using thinstation 3.0 developer version.I've no problem as such in
build process(though some recipes are not being updated as some of the repo
could not be found so i had to manaully download the packages and put them
in the source dir).

With this build image i have no problem in runnning rdp on client end.
But i am not able to run ICA Client and came across with seg fault..
So to resolve this issue what i did is decompress the initrd.img and
manually copy the wfclient.ini ,module.ini,appsrv.ini into
rootfs/usr/lib/ICAClient/config/
This doesn't solve the issue.
So i noticed that some character encoding files are also missing
rootfs/usr/lib/gconv/ i.e ISO8859-1.so and CP1252.so and so i copy these
files to /rootfs/usr/lib/gconv/.

So I compressed the rootfs and tried to boot my thinclient with this image
with ICA session as the start session ( works fine for me).

Note::::
*.ini files comes from the postinstallation script(ica.postinst)

Here is the ica.postinst script
http://old.nabble.com/file/p31039016/ica.postinst ica.postinst 

So i checked the bitbake log ..

Re: Thinstation 3.0 + Problem with ICA Client +postinst script

Hi Dead.man,

thank you very much for this bug report.
and of course thanks for hints how to solve that.

I'v upgraded my local git checkout to support newer hardware and access
more current recipies.
Hoping have not broken too much.

At least there is something broken with dhcp, but i'm optimistic to
solve this on wednesday/thursday.
After having this fixed i'll prepare the push back to the repo.

greets

tobias

It is how the binary has been compiled.
This version has been compiled against Thinstation and works from within
a Thinstation image (http://batley.com.au/thinstation/syslinux)

Warning about an issue with Server 2008-R2 SP1, NLA and TS clients

Hi all,

The following was posted on edugeek.net earlier today:

<quote>

2008R2 sp1 killed our Wyse S10's RDP Connection

None of our clients have been able to connect since applying the SP,
so we're going to have to return to roll back, what we've found is
that it wont let us turn off Network level authentication, if anyone
can suggest a way to work around this then I would be very
appreciative. We no longer have a support contract and I couldnt say
what firmware they are on, but they did work with R2 previously with
security set to negotiate on the server.

<end quote>

Neither rdesktop or rdesktopsvn contains support for NLA (network
level authentication), and freeRDP only has partial support for it at
this point, so a server exhibiting this kind of behavior would refuse
all TS connections using rdesktop, rdesktopsvn or freerdp.

The problems with the service pack appear to be limited at present,
and appear to be a "bug" when applying the service pack rather than a
deliberate "design flaw", however the impact for anyone running TS
boxes who are unlucky enough to see this bug is so big that I thought
I should at least warn people here...

Hopefully nobody here will be affected by this, but this post might
help someone identify the cause should the unthinkable happen on one
of their servers.

Best regards,

Jason
