[FreeNX-kNX] nxserver constantly fails during authentication on login

[Dimitrije Nikic]

Thanks for the reply, Jesse!
Sorry to say though, it didn't work. :(
Besides, I want only to use passwords to login - no keys. 
But even using keys it didn't work for me... 

If I turn off the use of keys in my sshd config, I get the same error output except the line "Using auth method: publickey".

Maybe something to do with the way ssh communicates with nxserver?
