As the Debian patch[1] expresses, spitting messages on the console when
a process starts in background is a bad idea. Everything should be
written to log file and daemon should start silently. This is a first
step to shut up daemons.
Got some idea from Debian Remote Maintainers and Thorsten Glaser,
thanks!

to improve fscd(8)[1] compatibility. fscd(8) monitors daemons and
restarts after daemons crashed. We usually want to start, stop, and
restart xrdp and xrdp-sesman separately because restarting xrdp-sesman
means losing existing sessions. This change will enable fscd(8) not to
restart xrdp-sesman together when only xrdp daemon crashes.
Now rc.d/xrdp mainly has following commands:
* start - starts xrdp
* stop - stops xrdp
* restart - stops xrdp, then starts it again
* allstart - starts both xrdp and xrdp-sesman
* allstop - stops both
* allrestart - stops both, then start them again
* status - returns status of xrdp
rc.d/xrdp-sesman doesn't have all- prefixed commands.

If you run xrdp with a Unix Domain Socket (UDS) for the port specified in
/etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini then the first connection succeeds but subsequent
connections fail. In fact the UDS is deleted from the filesystem as soon
as the first connection is established.
Test case:
1. Edit /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini to set "port=/var/run/xrdp-local.socket".
2. Restart xrdp.
3. Run the following. When rdesktop starts up and the logon dialog is
displayed, press "Cancel".
sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:12345 UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/xrdp-local.socket &
rdesktop localhost:12345
4. Run the following:
sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:12346 UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/xrdp-local.socket &
rdesktop localhost:12346
Expected behaviour: rdesktop starts up and displays the logon dialog.
Observed behaviour: rdesktop exits with "ERROR: Connection closed" and
socat exits with "No such file or directory.
This is because in the child process after forking, xrdp_listen_fork()
calls trans_delete() which deletes the UDS. Simply commenting out the
g_file_delete() and g_free() fixes this, but that isn't a proper solution
because trans_delete() is called from elsewhere where the UDS might no
longer be wanted.
Fix by adding a function trans_delete_from_child() that frees and clears
listen_filename before calling trans_delete(), and call the new function
from xrdp_listen_fork().
(Workaround: set "fork=false" in /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini, because
trans_delete() is then not called.)
In common/arch.h, the endianness detection considers all powerpc
architectures as big endian. Since that is not true for ppc64el, I
added a verification that checks other preprocessor macros, only for
ppc cases.
