I moved /var/log/xrdp.log and /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log to a different location so they'd be smaller and easier to parse by booting a live system, then restarted this system.

Unfortunately, this time the xrdp daemon failed to start.

No sense trying to make a connection, and no xrdp.log was created. xrdp-sesman.log is pretty sparse:

# cat /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log

I'll also attach the logs from when the daemon would start but the attempted connections (from a Windows 7 machine and an openSUSE machine using Krdc) consistently failed.
