[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX on SUSE9.3 - howto??

[Verner Kjærsgaard]

hi list,

- I'm a little puzzled here. I've used the commercial version of 
nx-server/client for a long time, no problems.
- now, on my brand new SuSE9.3 distro, FreeNX is included. 
I install it using YAST. 

Now what?

I can't seem to find any documentation that hereafter tells what to do in 
order to get it running...
I installed the nomachine nx-client, and did a nxserver --start. This doesn't 
work until I fix up a diretory in /usr/lib-somewhere.

I somehow managed to start the nx-server, using nxserver --start. I then added 
a user with nxserver --adduser <name> and also fixed a password. Still, when 
I fire up the nomachine client, I get a variety of stupid messages saying 
that the server is either not installed or the user nx could not be 
authenticated.

I must admit I find it a REAL pity that a lot of people do a lot of rather 
great work with a rather fine product like FreeNX. And then - only due to bad 
or missing documentation - creates a lot of frustration... 

I edited /etc/nxserver/node.conf - and remembered to restart the nx-server 
with nxserver --restart - all to no avail. 

If possible, I'd lke to use FreeNX just like the commercial version, meaning 
if a user exists on the server system and may log in using SSH, then that's 
all it takes. Is that possible?

Does a short how-to or description exists somewhere? The one that goes 
into /usr/share/doc/packages/Freenx on SuSE9.3 is outdated, confusing and 
useless.

Phew, what a frustration. I was studpid enough to think that FreeNX would be 
just like the NoMachine NX server. Anyhow, if someone bears over with me and 
tells me how - it's most appreciated!

So, thank you in advance!!
