[FreeNX-kNX] Session Startup Failed? - Any ideas

[Steven Maddox (Architect)]

Hi folks,

Sorry I am still very confused as to what is missing and left to do here ;(

There isn't anything called secure in that directory - how can I switch 
debug mode on?
> Also check the /var/log/messages to see if the connection was

Doesnt seem to mention anything useful just alot of -- MARK -- lines
> You can also turn on the nxserver debug messages in your node.conf

Sorry... where is this file?  that address doesn't make much sense to me

Done, I did a chown on it

Both 1.5 and 2.0 nxclient claim it authed properly I think :S  and where 
is that file so I can edit it?

So you think it is the second step failing, not the first? right?


Should I simply start over? I have tried this on two debian etch 
machines now and got no-where with it :(

Any chance anyone knows exactly what the order of things to do are when 
using a new debian etch install to get freenx working and which sources 
are best?


Sincerely...
