[FreeNX-kNX] Cannot start session on FreeBSD

[Matthias Fechner]

Hi,

I used the package from:
http://www.deweyonline.com/nx/freebsd.html

I have running now freenx 0.6.0 and nxserver 2.1.0 on FreeBSD 6.2 with
XOrg 7.2 in the base system. But if I understand everything correctly
nx uses it own libraries.

On localhost i can su to nx and the nodeserver is started:
HELLO NXSERVER - Version 1.5.0-60 OS (GPL)
NX> 105

ok so far so good.

Now i tried to login with the client 2.1.0-17 for windows.
I configured it to connect to localhost (had portforwarding with putty
running) and SSL is enabled.
As start session I selected custom and as command I inserted xterm.

If I try no to login I got as error message: Session start failed.
The log on the windows machine says:
NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 3208

How can I debug or find out why it cannot start the session?


Best regards,
