<br><tt><font size=2>Try</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> sudo rpm -qil

<br><tt><font size=2>nxnode is only separte from the rest of FreeNX in
the</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>Ubuntu way of doing things.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>If you look in /usr/bin/ you will see nxnode already

<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Well ssh does, and by default FreeNX uses ssh.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>> How can I pass kerberos authentication
to server?</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Don't you really mean "pass server authentication
to kerberos" ???</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Default settings cause FreeNX to log in twice over
ssh.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Once using ssh rsa with a key file in the nxclient
as user nx</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>ssh giving encryption over your network . . .</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>then</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>again using ssh password, this time as your normal
user, and</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>locally from the nx server to itself (i.e. ssh user@127.0.0.1)</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2><br>
You can use user or su authentication instead (FYI)</font></tt>

</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>You can print to your windows-workstation/samba printers</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>over the NX /ssh tunnel provided you have an nxnode
which</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>has been patched ( I'm not sure about centos' )</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>> <br>

</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>You can mount a windows/samba workstation share on
the NX server.</font></tt>

<br><tt><font size=2>Yup. Look up shadowing in this list. There are some
recent</font></tt>
