any other Authentication module other than VRDPAuth for RDP?
I am wondering whether there are any other authentication modules other than VRDPAuth? VRDPAuth works, but then everybody who has an account on the host machine would be able to access my virtual machine. So I wanna have my own configurable authentication. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to our forum. You might want to take this opportunity to browse the Forum Posting Guide. This contains some useful tips on how to search for VBox knowledge and how to frame Qs.
One of the points it makes is that you should have a look in the User Guide before posting. See the sections on RDP authentication and Custom external VRDP authentication.

Thanks. Yeah, I have already read the user guide. I know it provides an interface for you to implement your own authentication. But what I was looking for is something that is already existing and trustworthy to use so that I don't have to code it myself. If there is no such thing existing, some sample code would be also helpful at least with which I don't have to code it from scratch.
Or is it possible to make the guest authentication option work even though the user guide says it's still under testing? If so, that would also be great.

I don't know what Guest you are running, but if you have a Windows Guest, you can use port forwarding to use the RDP server of Windows itself.

oops, forgot to mention my host and guest.
My host is WinXP. Guest is Ubuntu 8.04LTS.
Thanks.
p.s. I was running wmware server before. I installed FreeNX in the Ubuntu to do the remote desktop. But it's kinda sluggish. So I switched to virtualbox to test if virtualbox is better. Right now I do feel virtual box is smoother, but the authentication thing really bugs me.
