I don't have found a specific documentation for slackware

I try to build freenx to on slackware 10.1, but I can't autanticate to
the server.
The steps that I have made are:

1- download freenx package

2- download from no machine the opensource nx-X11 nxcomp,nsproxy,
nxagent etc etc etc(save them in the  
   same directory & uncompress them here).
   NB: after this step some archive are uncompressed in the nx-X11 and
non in the current directory.

3- go in the nx-X11 dir and run "make world"  "make install".

4- after you must compile and install the rest of package that you have
uncompress.

5- after these compilations you must uncompress freenx package and read
the INSTALL file: copy all 	files	in the rigth directories.

NB: some error at the compilation  time must happen, but is sufficient
to copy some library from compilation directory to system directory as
/usr/X11R6/lib.

At this moment..... Panic!!!!!

Following the documentation piggybaking the package, now in sufficient
to run nxsetup --install or nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key, but
is a cheat,it does not work.

All is in the rigth place... But nobody know how to use the nxscripts
package.
Because for me is that the core of the settings for the server.

You must read something about these scripts on the support section of
nomachine.

Important is to copy node.conf.sample in your installation directory(for
me /usr/NX/etcnode.conf.semple), rename it in node.conf, edit it and
configure it. Is quite simple to do.
Chmod 640 the authentication_key2 in the  directory
/var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh
Ok now use nxkeygen to generate new client id dsa key. This key stay in
/var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh
Chmod 644 this file.
Copy this file in the client rigth directory(depending on yor OS : on
windows is C:\programs\Nxservers\share, but i don't remember well).

For the documentation that I have found this is sufficient. But don't
work for me.
To sey the true is important to configure /etc/ssh/sshd_conf file too.
It must to accept PAM authentication and somthing else.

If you are a step beyond me, please send me a mail. Even working
together something of good is possible :-).
