    yes, i have to install openssl because sun don't give lib ssl.
    I do it and rdesktop (1.3.0) compile fine. I try to use it on a sunray appliance, now i have only windows login, i'm waiting for a password from other service.
    With this discussion, i notice that problems will not end soon...
    rdesktop is the only freeware to connect to a windows terminal server, but perhaps there is something wrong with m$ licence, according to Christophe Dupre:
    "but I don't see how to handle licensing
    on the windows side: Windows server 2003 will happily give out a license
    to the rdekstop client, but the client won't store the license and will
    checkout another one for each connection, causing the server to run out."
    I will test, and re-summarize if any.
    We have to use it to connect to a financial application, i hope all works...
    pS: under macosx, m$ gives a free client to connect to its server!

    here is my initial question:

    > i want to compile rdesktop on my solaris 9, but it complains about lack of ssl libraries:
    > ERROR: could not find OpenSSL headers
    > (searched for include/openssl/rc4.h in: /usr/openssl /usr/ssl /usr /usr/local/openssl /usr/local/ssl /usr/local)
    >
    > i don't find any ssl files in solaris 9. But sun ssh don't use ssl? is it possible to install ssl libraries from sun distribution? or do i have to install openssl from sunfreeware?
    >
    > PS: is there another product to connect to a windoes terminal server? such a product is free for macosx platform
