<br><tt><font size=2>YUP - ssh is ok by the sound of it.</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>and</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>that means you have</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> the PASSDB

<br><tt><font size=2> and</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> permissions</font></tt>

<br><tt><font size=2> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>file.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>So next you need to check the PASSDB password database
file</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>so</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>what is in:-</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> /etc/nxserver/passwords</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>????</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>NOTE:-</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>it ought to contain your username and md5 hashed password
in format:-</font></tt>

<br><tt><font size=2>. . etc . .</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>*** so be careful what you do with it ***</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>If you run</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2> echo "mypassword"|md5sum|cut
-d" " -f1</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>the output should match the hashed password field.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>***** WATCH OUT FOR DUPLICATE ENTRIES etc *****</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>I'm not sure how you have organized your passwords.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>The password hashed in the PASSDB file needs to be
the</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2> SAME ONE you use
in the nxclient</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>but</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> needn't be the
same as your user password in Linux/FreeNX</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>because you are using key authentication to set up
your user session.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>This is why it's such a mess cos there are</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2> two password/databases</font></tt>

<br><tt><font size=2>good luck. Let us know how you get on.</font></tt>
