The package description (yum info xrdp): "The goal of this project is to
provide a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting
connections from rdesktop and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote
desktop clients." If you connect to the server(s) using Windows clients,
then it's likely that you need this package.
I notice that xrdp is in the EPEL repository rather than the standard
CentOS repositories. That might explain why it is not installed via
kickstart.
