[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX trouble

[Jan Luehr]

Hello,

sadly I've come again to the point where my FreeNX-Server ist completly 
unuseable.
If've run freeNX on Debian Etch for months. When Etch finally become stable 
(or around that time), some dist-upgrade broke my installation.
Broke means:
- Users were unable to login
- NXClient itself was able to establish a public key based ssh connection
- NX logs authentication failures using ssh auth attempts,
- sshd logging showed some connections but no authentication attempts.

However, at first I suspected zum libraries got incomptible with some new etch 
ones wants and rebuilt the nomachine sources.
I also upgraded freeNX to 0.6. But that didn't change anything.
I began playing around with the installation - scripts, but did'nt solve the 
problem.
However, after a some try-outs I broke NX completely
- NX doesn't log
- NXClients timeout:
NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 23412
NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command
NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files
NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options
NX> 200 Connected to address: 192.168.1.205 on port: 20290
NX> 202 Authenticating user: nx
NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey
NX> 280 Ignoring EOF on the monitored channel
NX> 280 Ignoring CLOSE on the monitored channel
Killed by signal 15.

and ssh logs successful connections

port 34256 ssh2

In an act of despair I renamd all my NX-libs, bins and dirs, killed the NX 
users and installed freenx from 
http://kern.nl/freenx/ ./

But that haven't changed anything at all.
Do you have any ideas how to repair my installation?

Thanks,
Keep smiling
