[FreeNX-kNX] 716 Slave mode failed to start script error?

[OwN-3m-All]

I finally figured it out.  It was again a problem with the /etc/hosts file,
but I'm not sure why it flipped out.

Well I haven't seen this, however  . . .

Yep, all of this looked good, and I verified that my settings were correct.

This proved to be helpful.  I could SSH into the server, but I couldn't SSH
locally on the server.  I checked my logs and found this:

May  2 01:00:04 chi CRON[10551]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for
user username
May  2 01:01:50 chi sshd[10619]: Accepted publickey for nx from [myip] port
[number] ssh2
May  2 01:01:50 chi sshd[10619]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for
user nx by (uid=0)
May  2 01:01:54 chi nxserver[10860]: (nx) Failed login for user=[username]
from IP=[myip]
May  2 01:01:54 chi sshd[10619]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for
user nx

SSH would instantly close when I tried it locally with the following errors:

Connection closed by ::1
Connection closed by 127.0.0.1

So, to fix it, I commented all the IPv6 lines from the hosts file, and
removed some huge long lines that spanned forever that were added for all
of the websites I host so that I can access them locally by using the hosts
file.  This is done automatically by the software I use.  I guess the
length was so long, it corrupted things.  I have since turned this feature
off.

Thanks for the help!
