I wish I could say something useful to you. I followed the
instructions at http://wiki.centos.org/FreeNX and all is fine on
CentOS 5.
All I did on the server mchine was to 'run yum install nx freenx' and
nothing else. It creates user "nx" on the server. For the client,
again, I followed the procedure exactly as shown on the wiki page,
nothing extra.
thanks for the encouragement, Akemi!
here's slightly more info. I just tried nmap'ing the two machines ("nmap -p 1-65535 localhost"). the centos 4.4 machine has two open ports when I have an active nx connection: port 22/tcp for ssh, and port 7000/tcp for "afs3-fileserver". on the centos 5 machine, I have port 22/tcp open for ssh but nothing else is open, nor does something pop open when the nxclient authenticates.
