[FreeNX-kNX] Authentication failed.

[Jay Paulson]

Thanks for all the help.

NX client version: 1.5.0-103 for Mac OSX
FreeNX server version: 1.4.0-04-CVS (that's what I get when I type
nxserver) but I believe it's 0.4.1

I also have the NX client installed on the FreeNX server and it's version
1.5.0.103
