Thanks for mail Johnny. I just updated (yum update) my FreeNX server, restarted - nxserver, sshd and finally system - and still "nxserver --status" appears as a 1.4.0 version. On my second CentOS box I made 1/2 hour ago fresh install of FreeNX server and it's the same.
Of course rpm in extras repo is named 1.5.0.
Strange but true.
Maybe am I doing something wrong?
You are not doing anything wrong ... the output of that command provides this for me:
NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-44 OS (GPL)
but, the package that provides the the file nxserver is freenx and not nx.
Here are the NX sourcefiles involved in the nx rpm:
URL: http://www.nomachine.com Source0: nxproxy-1.5.0-9.tar.gz Source1: nxcomp-1.5.0-63.tar.gz Source2: nxcompext-1.5.0-16.tar.gz Source3: nx-X11-1.5.0-15.tar.gz Source4: nxagent-1.5.0-87.tar.gz Source5: nxviewer-1.5.0-14.tar.gz Source6: nxdesktop-1.5.0-59.tar.gz Source7: nxscripts-1.5.0-11.tar.gz Source9: nxagent
Those are the latest files freenx and nx source for RPM distros from: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/
I am again use the 1.5.0 client for Linux on CentOS-3 connected to the latest nx, freenx CentOS-4 server.
OK.
I tried to connect to FreeNX server (CentOS 4.1) after today update (1.5.0) using both nxclients (Windows): 1.4.0 and 1.5.0. Only 1.4.0 nxclient can connect.
Did you paste the key from the server at /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key
into your client?
Yes. Just like written here: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/
Try editing the certificate file on the server (/var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key)... and copying the entire key text, then pasting it into the window that clicking the "Key..." button on the "Client Configuration form" in the Server Section opens up.
Works! Both 1.5.0 nxclients: Linux and Windows.
Regards.
