[FreeNX-kNX] NX 3.0 backend fails to run VNC proxy on Debian

This is a packaging issue.

Somehow a command like nxpasswd must be available. I suggest linking it statically and using it from NX 2.1.0 sources.

You could also just get the nxpasswd from the nx 2.1.0 or VNC sources and change it accordingly.

After all its a very simple program.
