This shouldn't be necessary.  If you can log in as yourself
with ssh and a password, nxclient should work.  What is
supposed to happen is that it logs in first as the 'nx'
user with ssh and the client key and uses this only
for an encrypted path to pass the real username and
password - which should only need to be normal users.
Installing  the freenx rpm should have created the nx
user. The rest should happen like you logged into the
console.
