Hello,

I'm competely new to nx and freenx so I apologize beforehand about the
quality of the below questions. Although I did do a some searches and
the few things in existance did not appear to help.

I'm made rpm's from Rick Stout's rh src.rpms at:
 http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/

I hade to change the getent and useradd commands in the freenx spec
file to cat passwd and luseradd so as not to get killed by NIS+
searching (which was taking several hours). But other than that I did
not change Rick's packages.

The system I'm building on is a RHEL3 system. And as far as I can tell
nx and freenx seemed to install fine.

I'm using nxclient-1.4.0-75 on windows, and after connecting and auth,
nxclient crashes.

On the server I see this afterwards:
[11:13:10] nsite-l3vpn-1:/var/log> sudo nxserver --list
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-02 OS_(GPL)
NX> 127 Sessions list:

NX> 999 Bye


But I'm unsure of how to connect to this session... I'm connecting to
port 22, and logging in with my username/password (which seem to
work). From the secure logs I see that there is another connection
created via the loopback. But I don't see anyother logs.

Neither X nor vnc seem to work, and fail in the same way in that
nxclient crashes.

Is anybody else seeing this problem? 

>rpm -qa | grep nx
nx-1.4.0-0.rh.3
freenx-0.2.7-0.rh.1.cel3
