> As noted in GUACAMOLE-927, the behavior of FreeRDP 2.0.0 differs from older versions of the library in that it depends on the existence of a writable home directory to initialize itself. It will refuse to attempt to connect if this is not the case.  However, as [recently noted on the user@ mailing list|https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/guacamole-user/202001.mbox/%3C243547547.16430215.1579533990157%40mail.yahoo.com%3E], users' home directories may be incorrectly set to files which are not actually directories or which are not writable, in which case the RDP connection will mysteriously fail.
> As a valid, writable home directory is now a requirement for RDP to function, there should probably be additional sanity checks and warnings which ensure that a failure due to an invalid home directory can be easily diagnosed.
