[FreeNX-kNX] Error trying to start nxserver

[Laura Thurber]

Here is the output - sorry for the delay.  I put the commands before "attempt connection by NX client" in a script "PreClient.sh" and the commands after it in the script "PostClient.sh."  The machine's hostname is Cleopatra, my username is laura:

bash-2.05b# ./PreClient.sh
Running nxsetup --setup-nomachine-key
Searching for nxserver binary...done
Setting up /usr/NX/etc ...done
Setting up /usr/NX/var/db ...done
Setting up known_hosts and .ssh/authorized_keys2 ...done
Setting up permissions ...done
Ok, nxserver is ready.

PAM authentication enabled:
  All users will be able to login with their
  normal passwords.

You can change this behaviour in the nxserver script.
Have Fun!
