[FreeNX-kNX] NXServer inside of VServer?

[Pablo A. Salgado]

Some time ago I tried to do the same and ran into troubles.

First, I found no way to start xterm as normal user into vserver because 
some kind of problem with /dev/tty* into the vserver (the message was 
something like: "I couldn't create tty#"). The only user that could start 
xterm was root. That means that it seems to be posible to execute KDE as 
normal user but not xterm. Anyway I didn't find any documentation about this 
topic.

Then, I installed freenx in the host system and run into the problem you 
describe starting KDE as normal user. After few attempts to start sessions I 
decided to erase any related KDE file in the /tmp directory and voilà! it 
worked. Perhaps it could help you.

Let me know if you success running NXserver into vserver :)
