[FreeNX-kNX] cannot ssh as nx-user

[Brad Sammut]

I've think I found a bug that might be causing your problem. This worked
for me on Fedora Core.

Try running "nxsetup --install". If it reports a problem involving "group
-d" then try this as a temporary fix.

Edit the /usr/bin/nxsetup script. Remove the -g option for USERADD_OPTIONS
in the useradd_nx() function. Then run "nxsetup --install" again and see if
it works properly.

I've highlighted the line I edited below.

useradd_nx()
{
        # In any case create the basedir of the HOME directory before,
        # because useradd will fail to make more than one directory
        mkdir -p $(dirname "$NX_HOME_DIR")

        # Is it a debian?
        if [ -f /etc/debian_version -a -z "$SETUP_UID" ]
        then
                USERADD_OPTIONS="--system --home $NX_HOME_DIR --shell
$PATH_BIN/nxserver"
                [ -n "$SETUP_GID" ] && USERADD_OPTIONS="--gid $SETUP_GID
$USERADD_OPTIONS"
                adduser $USERADD_OPTIONS nx
        # no, its a "normal" useradd
        else
                USERADD_OPTIONS="-d $NX_HOME_DIR -s $PATH_BIN/nxserver"
                [ -n $SETUP_GID ] && USERADD_OPTIONS="-g $SETUP_GID
$USERADD_OPTIONS"
                # uid specified?
                if [ -n "$SETUP_UID" ]
                then
                        USERADD_OPTIONS="-u $SETUP_UID $USERADD_OPTIONS"
                # Is it a SuSE?
                elif [ -f /etc/SuSE-release ]
                then
                        USERADD_OPTIONS="-r $USERADD_OPTIONS"
                fi

                if [ "$SETUP_LOCAL_USER" = "yes" ]
                then
                        [ -n "$SETUP_GID" ] && /usr/sbin/lgroupadd -g
$SETUP_GID nx
                        luseradd $USERADD_OPTIONS nx
                else
                        useradd $USERADD_OPTIONS nx
                fi


        fi
