[FreeNX-kNX] unix:port for DISPLAY causes (me) problems

[Scott Moser]

Hey all,
   Just started using freenx and nomachine.  I'm very happy with it so
far.
   When I first tried using it, my freenx session would simply hang.  I
had no idea why.  It turned out that the freenx server machine was
trying to do X traffic to a machine called 'unix'.  This was a result of
the nxnode setting up the DISPLAY and exporting DISPLAY=unix:1000.0
   Unfortunately for me, the X libraries must first check hostnames,
then fall back to unix sockets for the special word 'unix'.
   I worked around the problem by simply taking out the 'search' line in
/etc/resolv.conf that caused the problem, but I'd still like to search
that domain for my dns lookups.
   Just as a test, I tried omitting the 'unix:' from display inside a
terminal inside or outside the freenx session, and it seemed to work for
me.  Is there a reason why nxnode uses 'unix:' the prefix 'unix' ?

   a patch is omitted as simply search and replace for 'unix:' with ':'
in /usr/bin/nxnode.

   Thanks for your work on freenx. Its great.
