because when you install freenx on server system, an nx user is
automatically created and a key for that nx user is created
in /etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.pub which is the key that needs to be
copied to clients and used in clients.

The startup of nxclient first does an ssh connection as user nx using
the key (no password) and after the user nx is connected, then the
actual user connects via the already established ssh connection and the
users login/password.

It sounds as if you don't have the nx server properly installed.
