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?

Regards
