You can disable PASSDB authentication and SSH authentication and enable SU AUTHENTICATION instead in /etc/nxserver/node.conf.

The point is you seem to have done a:

nxserver --adduser jindorf, because else FreeNX would never use that command.

This is not needed at all.

Please remove the user again with nxserver --deluser jindorf.

Then try again.

If it still fails with ssh-askpass its your ssh setup and you can circumvent the usage of ssh via usage of SU AUTHENTICATION, which you can enable in node.conf and disable PASSDB_AUTHENTICATION and SSH_AUTHENTICATION.
