[FreeNX-kNX] New Fedora\Redhat Freenx RPM's

Hey all,

I've updated the freenx and nx RPM's at:

http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx

This update addresses some small glitches with using newer clients, and 
has the nxsetup functionality built into the RPM. This RPM is very aware 
of existing installations. Erasing the package will remove the nx user 
account, and backup the client\server keys to /etc/nxserver. New 
installations will check the /etc/nxserver dir, as well as 
/home/.nx/.ssh for preexisting keys, leaving your setup in tact, but 
allowing for better cleanup upon removal. Test it out, and let me know 
how it works for everyone.

BTW, you will need to remove the FreeNX and NX packages first, as the 
names have been changed to match the tar files (Fedora naming 
structure). Future upgrades shouldn't have this problem. There are 
packages for xorg installations (FC2, FC3test's, other xorg dists), and 
they are designated with the fdr marker. The ones marked rh should run 
on any dist with 4.3.0 XFree86.

If you are using the FC2 specific RPM, please report any bugs to:

https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2101 for the freenx pkg
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2132 for the nx pkg

I'll be looking forward to hearing feedback.

Rick Stout
