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.

Thanks,
