Having issues with FreeNX


I'm having an issue with FreeNX. Whenever I try and log in I get the error: "Server not installed or NX access disabled"

After doing a lot of research, I am pretty confident I have everything configured correctly. The only things I think may be wrong are file permissions. I think my permissions might be too weak, so the server is refusing the connection. Does anyone know how I could check/confirm this, and maybe fix it?


*Some notes:
NX Server: Ubuntu 6.10 desktop - 10.10.10.104
NX Client: ArchLinux 0.7.2 laptop - 10.10.10.103
*nxclient/nxnode/nxserver 2.1+ installed on both.
Both are connected to same router.

Public key saved in both /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/authorized_keys2 and /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.da_dsa.key on the desktop (server).
Private key is saved in /opt/NX/share/keys/server.id_dsa.key on the laptop (client).

The command ssh -i /opt/NX/share/keys/server.id_dsa.key nx@10.10.10.104 works fine. I can log into the desktop with the user nx (using the password I created with sudo passwd nx).

Any help will be much appreciated.

i don't have access to a machine right now to provide you the full path, but in the node.conf file you can set the logging level to 7 which will allow you to view the details of the problem with a bit better detail.
In my experience, NX problems are almost always screwed up keys.
cheers
