You should try with -i /usr/NX/share/client.id_dsa.key and it won't work either.

There will be a line in it that contains the user "nx". How about you post that and the context around it. Or upload the whole log.

We are not really able to fix something that we know nothing about.

SSHD or auth.log tells you something, but you have not told us.

No, it won't.

We need the server log from when the NX client tries to connect.
