 	Seems the issue relates to NoMachine switching to 'libssh2' by default 
in 4.3, from using a 'native' binary ssh client.  See:

https://www.nomachine.com/TR10L04622
https://www.nomachine.com/AR09L00813

Modifying ~/.nx/player.cfg  as described there:

<option key="SSH client mode" value="library" />

to

<option key="SSH client mode" value="native" />

seems to resolve the issue for me.  (Tested with NoMachine Enterprise Client 
4.3.24_1 on win64 to a FreeNX 0.7.2 install on Linux)

 	Of course, it's anyone's guess how long they're going to continue to 
support "native" ssh clients, especially since Windows doesn't have one and 
they have to distribute 'nxssh.exe' for it.  Hopefully they get the 'libssh2' 
implementation feature-complete and fully compatible with what's currently 
possible with the 'native' binaries before they discontinue 'native' SSH 
support.
