I'm setting up a FreeNX server and client.
Client: Fedora5
Server: Suse10.1
The client and server are setup on both boxes.
I got the error message below on the Fedora: client after running
nxsetup
Your FreeNX server was already setup and configured by the RPM.
You should only need to copy the client.id_dsa.key from /etc/nxserver to your client,
then properly import the key into the client setup. Only proceed with nxsetup if you know exactly what you are doing.
To bypass this message, add the following to the nxsetup arguments:
--override
The Fedora5 / client /etc/nxserver has the following keys.
client.id_dsa.key, users.id_dsa.pub, users.id_dsa, server.id_dsa.pub.key
The Suse10.1 / server /etc/nxserver has the following keys.
user.id_dsa, user.id_dsa.pub
Now where I'm confused is, What keys do I move from one box to the other
in /etc/nxserver
Hope I didn't confuse anybody.
Distribution: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Oracle Linux

Hi,
the key to import is the one save on your server.
Copy the:
user.id_dsa from the Suse10.1
and import that on your Fedora 5 (using the tool on your NX client).
Hope this help!
PS: note that the user.id_dsa is the private key while the user.id_dsa.pub is the public one
