Hi,

I am trying to connect from a Mac running the latest client software to a computer running Slackware 13RC1.

I am seeing the following on the log.

Jul 23 11:40:39 galactic sshd[4849]: Accepted publickey for nx from 192.168.32.32 port 50270 ssh2
Jul 23 11:40:40 galactic NXSERVER-3.3.0-22[4852]: ERROR: Failed authentication. NXSsh exit status is:255 'NXNssUserManager::auth'
Jul 23 11:40:40 galactic NXSERVER-3.3.0-22[4852]: Failed SSHd authentication for user 'rwcooper', to '127.0.0.1', port '22': 'NX> 204 Authentication failed.\n ' 'NXNssUserManager::auth'

Jul 23 11:40:40 galactic NXSERVER-3.3.0-22[4852]: ERROR: failed 'sshd authentication' for user 'rwcooper' from '192.168.32.32'. NXShell::handler_login NXShell 373

SSH is configured to accept only publickeys from the "AllowedUsers" list.

I have done no configuration on the server side as I don't know what I need to do. Adding rwcooper as a user via nxserver --useradd rwcooper did not help.

For the nx client I'm not sure what I should be entering as the password, I'm assuming it should be the pass phrase for my key. I tried using my password on the host as well but that generated the same set of messages.

To me it looks like the initial failure is for the user nx. If so, what could cause this?

I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what I should try next.

Thanks,
Randy

well if sshd is configured to ONLY permit keys then you need to provide a key... or am I missing something here??

The client has a default key, but I'm wondering if that key is not working.

I forgot to mention that during the server installation Slackware is not listed as an option. I read from another post that redhat should be specified. Is it possible that one or more files are in the wrong locations?

Answered on your other thread.

Cheers.

Well thanks for double posting and wasting my time. Appreciated.

Hi,

I have two threads going for two different things. One was for a recommendation for remote access to a system running KDE4 and this one for the problems I am having using nomachine nx. I accidently posted the same information to both threads at one point. Let's consider this one redundant and closed.

Sorry for the confusion.

Randy
