I was able to get around the problem by also using the -p
option, which can be used to specify the password to use for logging into
the remote system. E.g., -p password where password

command history
information in ~/.bash_history for your account, if you are
using the Bash shell, you can use -p -,
instead. I.e., place a space than a dash character after the
-p to have rdesktop prompt you for the password.
