[FreeNX-kNX] install nx from source on Fedora Core 3 (FC3) and freenx 2.8.0 NX Version 1.4.0-02

[Rob]

Just wanted to record some rough notes in the archives for anyone trying
this (install nx from source on Fedora Core 3 (FC3) and freenx 2.8.0):

Using the instructions here: http://ltsp.criticalcontrol.com/freenx.html
and:
wget http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/nx/freenx-0.2.8.tar.gz
client is on Windows 98

I am using xorg-X11 and kde from a yum install of both since I hadn't
installed them during the initial build.

I had to do:
yum install expect
yum install nc
but later found nx was looking for netcat, not nc, so I did:
ln -s /usr/bin/nc /usr/bin/netcat

The problem I ran into is that the current version of the nxkeygen
doesn't have the part of the code that puts the key into the
authorized-keys file wasn't there! I checked the email archive and
didn't see any references to nxkeygen in the past few months.
So I have included this diff which is way overkill for what is probably
needed. Not a shell expert, so feedback is welcome.

Aside from that issue and the nc/netcat issue, I only made one mistake 
and that was to run "make install" in the nx-X11 directory and screwed 
up my original X11 libraries. Don't run make install!

Works great so far:
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-02 OS_(GPL)

I may have more questions later as I deploy it behind two firewalls.

Thanks to everyone who has worked hard to make and support this!
