What do you mean by nxtunnel client?  Do you mean the nxproxy?

This URL does not seem to work for me.

It seems that nxtunnel is not finding xauth on remotenx.  (You have
also uncovered a small bug here as well in the nxtunnel script:
nxtunnel runs with set -e and checking for a program is not protected
by a || true.  I have fix this in my local copy.)  Try running:

  ssh remotenx which xauth

Note that this might produce different results from running ssh
remotenx and then which xauth as in this case you have an interactive
shell which potentially reads different start up files.

This is a different error from above.  I am not sure what could cause
this as nxproxy should be waiting for a connection from the remote
side (and you have not entered your password yet).  I hope nxproxy's
semantics have not changed.  (I am using the debian package from
kalyxo.org with the version number 1.3.99.1-0pre1.)

Thanks for the feedback,
