The Freenx package I installed was 'freenx-0.6.0-2mdv2007.1.noarch'. The files listed by urpmi are:

Not sure if this might help you verify the files you have, and if you do have something missing.

Hi Cliff,
Just going back over your suggestions...

"one thing I noticed was the instruction to add the NX user on the Freennx system to the sshd_config file. I looked at my system, and I have added it. Just a possibility, have a look to see if you have added NX to the AllowUsers or AllowGroup."

I will look at the sshd_config again to check - could you post the section of your config

- when I looked I didn't see a section called "AllowUsers or AllowGroup"

Thanks

Stephen

Here is the section of /etc/ssh/sshd_config you asked for. Yes, I added nx to AllowUsers and AllowGroup.

Hope this helps...

ihave had no trouble running the client from nomachine.com....nxclient

I edited
in node.conf...
enable_passdb_authentication="1"

in sshd_confg...
PasswordAuthentication no
AllowUsers stephen nx
AllowGroups stephen nx

BTW do you have a line that says...
X11forwarding yes

ran
nxserver --restart
/etc/init.d/sshd restart

I then try from XP, NX reponds

"NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 3056
NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command
NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files
NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options
ssh: connect to host 198.168.2.39 port 22: Connection timed out"

Using Putty from XP to planb and running..
planb:~ # tail -f /var/log/messages

Jul 15 19:36:05 planb sshd[8676]: Received signal 15; terminating.
Jul 15 19:36:05 planb sshd[8979]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

I'm going to start googling on the error message from NX
"ssh: connect to host 198.168.2.39 port 22: Connection timed out" and see what I can gleen from this - but not tonight

Does this help?

utanja, are you running the Linux client or the windows client?


Cliff, I am trying to turn on nxserver.log (located in /var/log/) by turning on
"nx-logfile= /var/log/nxserver.log" in /etc/nxsever/node.conf, and set nx_log_level=1

but nothing is being written to this file. Thinking that this may help to see why NX isn't connecting.

Stephen

Both........LInux client from my office.......Windows Client from laptop

Which ver of the client for windows are you using? (I am wondering if I need to go back to an earlier vers) Though Cliff is running v3 as I - so shouldn't make a differance.

Did you have any particular problems getting the NX client to talk to FreeNX?

NX 3.2--!0

I only use NXServer from nomachine.com

I do not use free nx

Now there is something different, perhaps I should try NXserver and not FreeNX

Thanks

worked almost out of box.......just had to configure the usual setups
