I might be inclined to agree with you but
#
diff /etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.key /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key
[root@srv1 nxserver]#
so either key that I copy from the server, the result is the same.
I have spent the entire day on this - and gotten nowhere. I started at
my clients system and was so frustrated, I decided to get a fresh start
on my server and my workstation and got to the same place nowhere fast.
I find it hard to believe that anyone actually has made it work.
