[FreeNX-kNX] Authentication failure

[Chetan Venkatesh]

I've ususally seen "Authentication failed" when the Keys were not setup up
correctly.  Suggest you use nxsetup using default nomachine key (on freenx
server and your client), get that working before you move to using your own
generated key pair.   The nexsetup help has the details on this
