Went through the FAQ, etc. Tried the nxsetup --setup-nomachine-key
--install --clean --purge, It says it is ready to use, but when I check
for the client.id_dsa.key, there is no such animal in any paths
mentioned in the faq.

Try some of the tings in the faq, either the filesare not there is the
paths are not there. For example, there is no /usr/NX/share directory.


I will download the latest rpms from the suse ftp site and give it one
more try.
