I therefore - to achieve a clean install... yum remove freenx nx userdel nx rm -fr /etc/nxserver rm -fr /var/lib/nxserver and then did an install yum install freenx nx to make sure the cruft was gone.... then re-imported client.id_dsa.key into the nxclient application on my workstation before trying to connect Still the same issue Craig
