[FreeNX-kNX] nxserver & ssh with client cert based authentication

Hello,

I setup nomachine's current nxserver and it worked fine. But then I
changed the config of sshd to authentication based on client certificates.
Therefore I have to wite the clients public keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_key.

The problem is that nxserver seems to have something similar implemented
with authorized_keys2. The startup script of nxserver checks for the
existence of either authorized_keys or authorized_keys2 in
/usr/NX/home/nx/.ssh. If one exists it thinks to be already running and
does not start. So where can I place the clients pub keys?

Maybe it isn't even necessary to do it. But why can't I get a connection:

NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 3300
NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command
NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files
NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options
NX> 200 Connected to address: 192.168.1.10 on port: 22
NX> 202 Authenticating user: nx
NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey
NX> 204 Authentication failed.

Regards,
Marco
