2 questions Kurt,
Do you know what will happen if the NX user is compromised? Will he 
authorize more than what the nx user owns? I mean, does he contain ssh 
keys to log to certain users? Or not?

And another one: Why couldn't we open an SSH session to the end user 
(not the nx user) and passing a command to execute like : 
"/usr/bin/nxserver" or "/usr/bin/nxnode" or something like that? Would 
it work?
