Why carry coals to Newcastle, you may ask, as Windows has RDP service?

Well, with xrdp it is possible to create sort of ‘gateway’ – add multiple RDP/VNC machines and then select one after connection. Interesting bonus is lack of RDP-targeted attacks (like recent schannel bug which is remotely exploitable). Not to mention that xrdp could be more or less safely left on default RDP port, which important in cases like PocketPC 2003 mstsc.exe where you cannot use non-default port (moreover, as of 0.3.0 version, it seems to hang when both username and password is provided, therefore all worms trying to guess password just hangs).
