I generate keys using ssh-keygen, and stick them into: /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/authorized_keys2 (or without the '2' depends on sshd server setup) [in one line] and the entire private key into the client.

turns out that install will create
/var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/authorized_keys2
but sshd on CentOS 4 doesn't look there.
so I merely
cd /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh cp authorized_keys2 authorized_keys chown nx authorized_keys
et voila - login
Thanks for everyone's help
I can't believe that people didn't stumble into this installing freenx on CentOS as it simply cannot work out of the box without doing this or some other change in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
