AW: FreeNX on FC6 authentication problem

["Thomas von Steiger" <thomas.vonsteiger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I use for nx:

 

-yum install nx freenx

- install gnome kde or xfce(startup in nxclient with /usr/bin/startxfce4)

 

NX Config File::/etc/nxserver/node.conf

ENABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION="all"

NX_LOG_LEVEL=6

NX_LOG_SECURE=1

NX_LOGFILE=/var/log/nxserver.log

SESSION_HISTORY=2592000

COMMAND_NETCAT=nc

SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0

 

Define nxclient config and load /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key into nxclient as key

 

Ready.

keep failing until you follow instructions I would suppose

Craig

Well, I followed instructions as best I could given that they were rather sparse. I uninstalled everything and reinstaleld and started over with the website instractions mentioned earlier, which by the way have errors and got to the same point as before. I did find that importing the client.id_dsa.pub with the import button on the client, configure, general tab got me to where nx now authenticates, but now my login with my user name and password does not authenticate and I am using the correct name and password. What key or file controls this and how do I get nx to find it? is it one of the keys generated before? If so, which one? I am not at all clear on these keys as there is no real explanation of what is for what. (I also get the same thing from an nxclient on the server)
