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.

sorry, I should have posted this in my original post (but didn't know where to find it). the error message in the client when the connection attempt times out says:

there are some minor difference in the startsession call between the centos 4.4 (when looking at ~/.nx/temp/sshlog) and centos 5 (the above error log), but these seem really minor (--kbtype and --link).  a mystery. maybe I'm just destined to be a vnc user :-).
