OK, so I have it:

# ls -l /usr/NX/share/client.id_dsa.key
-rw-r--r--  1 nx root 668 Feb 14 15:31 /usr/NX/share/client.id_dsa.key

and I'm connected as root:

# ssh -i /var/lib/nxserver/nxhome/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key nx at localhost

and as a user (I used the /usr/NX/share path):
$ ssh -i /usr/NX/share/client.id_dsa.key nx at localhost
Last login: Thu Aug  4 09:06:22 2005 from mangoo2.serveftp.org

NX> 105


but connections from nxclient do not work.

nx user is not locked.

BUT!

The solution was: nxclient 1.5.0 has now the "Import key" option! - 
which I didn't know before :)
So just run nxclient, press "Configure", and you will see a "Key" button :))

Problem solved.
