[FreeNX-kNX] Re: moznx - NX mozilla plugin

Yes, if you do not have a password in the config file it will prompt for one in the console.  This is a leftover from nxrun that was useful in development.  I will probably remove it and print error message instead.

I have tested with two different version of Firefox and it works fine, so no need to resort to mozilla!

As for source, my problem is my cheap isp only gives me 5 MB.  If anyone has server space to spare (<10 MB, I think) then I would appreciate it.  I have not prepared the source properly but I would be willing to zip it up as is.

I really just frankensteined together nxrun/nxcompsh and the basic mozilla plugin example, then tweaked it until it worked.
