Hmm, I don't get this. How do I transfer the key from the client to the server 
then? I'm looking for a way to use a RSA key, instead of a password, to log 
in to the server, using nxclient. Since all users have their own key (stored 
on a stick), the key moves around, and needs to be transferred to the server 
somehow.
I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud, perhaps I'm missing something about 
the inner workings of NX...

Can I use this approach and define a set of valid keys on the server, instead 
of a single one?

Thanks for the quick answer,
