Description David Flogeras 2010-04-01 10:33:56 UTC

It seems virtualbox-bin ships with a version of rdesktop (probably with USB support patches).  If you emerge with USE="rdesktop-vrdp" it gets installed, but only root has permissions to execute it.

However, I found that in bug #300785 there was a patch for USB support added to rdesktop within portage.  Depending on that is probably a better long term fix (and more Gentoo).

Reproducible: Always

No longer applies to the 4.x.y series which is in tree
