[FreeNX-kNX] Problems with Mac OS X client

Well, turns out the server is working fine. I just got the windows
client on another computer, and it ran great. Except for a small
problem I put in another post.
On the windows client, a window with my linux environment opened
immediately. On the Mac client a small application window comes up
first with a list of sessions. Only one is there. And buttons at the
bottom asking me to resume, terminate, cancel, new. If I try to resume
the session it times out.
Since the windows client works, it seems like something must be wrong
with my Mac client. I noticed that it only covers up to 10.3, and I
have the newest OS X Tiger which is 10.4.something. Could this be the
problem? If so when will a compatible one come out? Maybe it is
installed wrong. When you extract the nomachine Mac client archive you
get an application folder with the application and a usr folder with the
rest of the stuff. I copied them to their respective spots on the hard
drive. Writing to the usr directory was hard because you have to enable
a root user and use the terminal as it won't show up in the finder. I
put the owner as root, and group as wheel to be consistent with
everything else in that directory. The owner and group for the NX
client app under Applications show up as system and wheel in the finder,
but are root and admin in a terminal window. I don't know if
permissions could be a problem in this app not running appropriately.
Anyone got any experience with this?
Thanks,
Clay
