That's just ssh refusing to allocation a pseudo tty because stdin to is is not a tty. But you don't need one in this case, since it's all going to be done over X11 forwarding. > I was not successful in finding helpful entries in the forums. I seem to have gotten further than you but I'm connecting to a freenx server on another F14 box. Unfortunately, I have also been unsuccessful. I may just load up the NoMachine server on one of my servers, just to test it out and see how it behaves. In my case, it goes through a long number of steps and messages out the console finally ending with this: Connection to 127.0.0.1 6001 port [tcp/*] succeeded! stdout> NX> 1000 NXNODE - Version 3.2.0-74-SVN OS (GPL, using backend: 3.3.0) stdout> NX> 700 Session id: alexandria.XXXXXXXXXX.com-2004-11B427C0BF684A790366A2977B076A36 NX> 705 Session display: 2004 NX> 703 Session type: unix-application NX> 701 Proxy cookie: 04970d2fcf149f5fee5af219dea4497c NX> 702 Proxy IP: xx.xx.xx.xx NX> 706 Agent cookie: 04970d2fcf149f5fee5af219dea4497c stdout> NX> 704 Session cache: unix-application stdout> NX> 707 SSL tunneling: 1 NX> 1009 Session status: starting NX> 710 Session status: running NX> 1002 Commit NX> 105 stdin> bye stderr> /usr/libexec/nx/nxserver: line 1585: 9402 Terminated sleep $AGENT_STARTUP_TIMEOUT NX> 1006 Session status: running stdout> bye stderr> Bye NX> 999 Bye Starting NX proxy NX_COMMFD=24Process started stderr> Connection to Alexandria.XXXXXXXXXX.com closed by remote host. Process exited There it dies and times out and I get the "closed by remote host finally. I set up the server to save the session data and found that the final user connection seems to be failing. The connection from qtnx to the nx@server succeeds (even over IPv6! Yes!!!) and the ssh connection from nx@server to user@xxxxxxxxx also succeeds but then the X session back over the forewarded X connection seems to fail with an "unable to connect to display. I saved an earlier session by setting up the appropriate parameters in the node.conf file and ended up with this in the session file: NXAGENT - Version 3.3.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2007 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Agent running with pid '7189'. Session: Starting session at 'Sun Jan 2 15:13:44 2011'. Info: Proxy running in server mode with pid '7189'. Info: Waiting for connection from '127.0.0.1' on port '6004'. Info: Accepted connection from '127.0.0.1'. Error: The remote NX proxy closed the connection. Error: Failure negotiating the session in stage '7'. Error: Aborting session with 'Unable to open display 'nx/nx,options=/home/mhw/.nx/C-alexandria.XXXXXXXX.com-2004-F9AACA89CE1E5FEC50094A113491891A/options:2004''. Session: Aborting session at 'Sun Jan 2 15:14:19 2011'. Session: Session aborted at 'Sun Jan 2 15:14:19 2011'. I've done the same thing with the NoMachine nxclient and it works fine but that client sucks. It can only establish one session at at time, failing with a bizarre error that didn't make any sense that I finally tracked down to the client trying to listen on local TCP port 12000 for something about X11 fonts. After the first session has it, subsequent sessions catch fire and burn when they can't bind to it, complaining the address is already in use. :-P It also fails miserably if the host is an IPv6 only host. It seems their client is IPv4 only even though ssh is perfectly happy over IPv6 and the qtnx sessions to freenx seem quite content over v6 and I know X11 forwarding works on ssh over IPv6. Lamers need to get with the program. But, it did work to establish a connection into my freenx server setup (on IPv4) and give me an X-session back. So I know the server setup is correct. Still qtnx fails. Seems like, in my case, it's some disconnect in setting up the ssh X11 forwarding and I can't seem to tell where it's broken at. Worse, it's got to be something that qtnx is doing differently that's causing the brokenness. It also LOOKS like qtnx sets up the ssh connections in a way that can also allow ssh agent forwarding to work so you don't need a password and can use hardened encryption keys end-to-end for authentication if you have your authorized key in both the nx users authorized_keys file and in your authorized_keys file which is another nice (and bloody obvious) feature that is totally missing from the NoMachine close source client. Gag. My next effort is to try and shim the two ssh sessions and see what the difference is under the hood in the command passing and primary channel. > Kind regards Regards, Mike -- Michael H.
