I just tried nmap'ing the two machines ("nmap -p 1-65535 localhost"). the centos 4.4 machine has two open ports when I have an active nx connection: port 22/tcp for ssh, and port 7000/tcp for "afs3-fileserver". on the centos 5 machine, I have port 22/tcp open for ssh but nothing else is open, nor does something pop open when the nxclient authenticates. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
