Thanks. Do you know if you can have a vnc server running in tandem with xrdp? I'm not a big fan of the limitation of only one active session being allowed with xrdp as we do a lot of remote work on our Ubuntu boxes and VNC has been foolproof on that front. Being locked out of my box over the weekend (or during this extended stay at home period) because something got messed up with user sessions would be very annoying/limiting. With an active VNC session, I supposed I could use that as a fallback to ensure that I logout of the local session to ensure continuing connectivity with RDP.

As long as you can log in via SSH, there should be no software error combination w.r.t. graphical surfaces capable of locking you out of your system. From the SSH prompt you can fix everything, should that ever be needed.

  Thanks. And you're right, that is very true. I'm just not very familiar myself with how to terminate local/remote graphical sessions via an SSH shell connection to juggle the limitations of xrdp on Ubuntu at the moment. Something for me to explore on a test box at some point I suppose.
