Perhaps someone can help me out here.
I run VirtualBox on Ubuntu 7.10 headless server and I use rdesktop to connect to VMs. As long as I just start the VMs and connect to them, there are no problems. But it also means that anyone who knows the IP-address and the ports on my server can connect to my VMs. So, in accordance with the manual I issued the "VBoxManage modifyvm" command with the "-vrdpauthtype external" option. But no matter what I tried, I just can't seem to log on to the VM.
So for now I have to resort to VPN tunneling which doesn't help GUI performance, to say the least...
Are there any additional steps I need to take in order to get this working? My configuration files in /etc/pam.d are just plain vanilla as Ubuntu installed them.
A detailed walk-through would be greatly appreciated!
