Installs and starts up xrdp, a remote server service for Linux that relys on the RDP protocol. Future updates will involve managing the config file as well (assuming that I have time. :) )

Mininum requirements are Ubuntu 12.04 and Fedora 17. For those who wish to contribute, please use ChefSpec and Berkshelf for unit testing.

Note that in some cases, the desktop may not comeup when you login. For those on Ubuntu, here is a possible fix:

• default['xrdp']['server']['pkg']
  • The xrdp package. Defaults to 'xrdp'
• default['xrdp']['server']['svc'] = '
  • the service script. Defaults to 'xrdp' Usage

Just include xrdp in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[xrdp]"
  ]
}
