installed freenx server on CentOS 4 server installed nxclient from nomachine.com on workstation so far so good. following directions from web site... http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/ where I tried both /etc/nxserver/client/client.id_dsa.key and /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key copied them to my workstation and then used the 'import' function in nxclient to import the keys and try to connect and always get the following detail when I failed to connect... NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 21106 NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files NX> 200 Connected to address: 192.168.2.1 on port: 22 NX> 202 Authenticating user: nx NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey NX> 204 Authentication failed. what's the trick - there is obviously something very important missing from the web page. Thanks Craig
