[FreeNX-kNX] freenx stopped working after update

[Eli Morris]

Thanks for helping me out guys. I narrowed down the problem. I created  
a key pair with ssh-keygen on my client. I put the public key in two  
places. One under the /var/lib/freenx/home/.ssh directory (the nx user  
home directory), one under a regular user directory/.ssh. I was able  
to log in without a password if I logged in to the regular user from  
my client. I could not log in without a password to the nx user. I  
have no idea why. Maybe because of the freenx 'shell' that runs when  
one logs in under the nx user, i.e. /usr/libexec/nx/nxserver. I don't  
know. Any idea? I'm baffled. Oh, also, permissions look ok on .ssh and  
authorized_keys, authorized_keys2.

Chis, here are the answers to the questions you had.

1) It was a yum update to the server, which is running Fedora 11.
2) The client was not updated.

I tried removing and reinstalling the freenx package. That did not  
help. I'm thinking there has got to be something about my system  
configuration that is not allowing the nx user to log in passwordless.  
Since the regular user can do it, it must be specific to the nx user  
somehow. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eli
