I installed the freenx rpm packages for fedora. I am currently running FC3.

 1009  rpm -Uvh nx-1.4.0-0.fdr.3.i386.rpm
 1010  rpm -Uvh freenx-0.2.7-0.fdr.1.noarch.rpm
 1011  cd /var/lib/nxserver/nxhome/.ssh/
 1012  ls
 1013  cp client.id_dsa.key /home/marco/.ssh/
 1014  chmod /home/marco/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key
 1015  chmod 644 /home/marco/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key
 1016  mv /home/marco/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key /usr/NX/share/
 1017  ssh nx at linuxserver.abc.com

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

After installing these the nomachine client can not connect to the server.
I see user nx is trying to log in into ssh but then authentication goes
wrong.

I tried to ssh directly to the server and i saw that the account nx
requires a password. Shouldn't is be working with just a certificate?
Here's an example:

[root at linuxserver ~]# ssh nx at localhost
nx at localhost's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
nx at localhost's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
nx at localhost's password:
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
[root at linuxserver ~]#

I would really appriciate your help!

Regards,
Marco
