Hi,

FreeNX 0.2 is out. 

You can get it from: 

http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/nx/freenx-0.2.tar.gz

I've decided to build up tarballs as mornfall from kalyxo.org did not react to 
the latest changes, yet and I do not have access.

A cvs will be setup at freedesktop.org as soon as possible.

@Stuart: 

PAM Authentication, which is now the default does login the user with the help 
of ssh and the provided password. I hope that does suit your security needs, 
as so ssh should do the account locking / logging. 
(But users then should _not_ use the nxserver --adduser command anymore!)

I also included a gentoo-nomachine.diff, which should help making an ebuild 
(as soon as you've checked and disabled everything that is insecure in your 
eyes) easier.

@All:

It is no longer necessary to install nxclient on the server, as xmessage will 
take care of the dialog functions.

Note: nxsetup will not use the NoMachine key by default. nxsetup will tell you 
that you should distribute the keys to the clients.

Thanks goes to Tom Hibbert for ideas and for providing updated gentoo scripts.

ChangeLog:

07.09.2004
        * Reworked the whole security model in nxsetup due to requests from 
SuSE and Gentoo.
                - nxsetup does not use the NoMachine key by default.
                - PAM authentication is enabled by default.

        * Added nxclient for compatibility with nxclient -dialog mode.

        * Minor changes
                * Added SSHD_AUTH_PORT to config vars in nxserver
                * Made all programs NX_ aware
                * Programs do now honor the setting of AuthorizedKeysFile in 
sshd_config
                * Changed nxsetup check from direct reading of passwd to 
getent
                  (Thanks to Tom Hibbert <tom at nsp.co.nz>)
                * Changed overall messages in nxsetup

        * Made a overall clean upstream package.
        * Added Gentoo / NoMachine compatibility diff

06.09.2004
        * Added pam authentication
        * Added user_db switch
        * moved some su - to nxnode-login

02.09.2004
        * Added support for snapshot 4 (43/66)
        * Fixed compatibility issue with 1.3.0
          (Used by Knoppix 3.4 and earlier)
        * added sane logging (LOGGING is now properly used)
