I have VirtualBox 4.0.0 installed on my amd64 Gentoo system.
Code:
app-emulation/virtualbox-4.0.0-r1
app-emulation/virtualbox-additions-4.0.0
app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle-4.0.0
app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.0.0

I have configured a Windows XP Pro VM to have remote desktop server port of 3390, for testing purposes

I can only convince remote access to my VM by using the NULL Authentication Method.

I have tried External, providing a gentoo user/password in the 'rdesktop' command line
Code:
rdesktop -u gentoouser -p gentoopassword hostmachine.ip.address:3390


I have tried Guest, providing a user/password that is used to login to the guest Windows XP Pro.
Code:
rdesktop -u windowsUser -p windowsPassword hostmachine.ip.address:3390


I would prefer External to work.

Any suggestions as to what is going on?

Some problem and I did this to make it work

Code:

cd /usr/lib/virtualbox
ln -s VBoxAuth.so VRDPAuth.so


Because VB complains about not able to find VRDPAuth.so and the online document of VB says that VBoxAuth.so is in charge of this work...

You are Awesome!
I did not check that the shared library actually existed - I assumed and made an A** of me.

Raised bug 351949 in bugzilla.
