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.
