I would look into adding Loglevel DEBUG3 to your sshd_config file and
restarting the sshd daemon. Try connecting again and then examine
/var/log/secure.log to find out what is failing. This error means that
sshd is not accepting the key pair. I have also seen that some
sshd_config's may have this line which can screw things up:

Authorizedkeysfile	.ssh/authorized_keys

Since Freenx uses authorized_keys2, try either commenting out that line
or adding a 2 to the end.

If you look at the screen shots, the 1.5 client is almost identical to
the 2.0 client, and the setup *is* the same.

nxserver.log will only fill if you have set the NX_LOG_LEVEL log setting
in /etc/nxserver/node.conf.
