Okay, perfect.

Well I do understand now: This is bad.

While it is a good idea to have the key in /etc/nxserver/, it is bad to break nxkeygen and nxsetup.

A more compatible solution would be to do:

/etc/nxserver/{key files} -> /var/lib/nxserver/home/

and

in /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/authorized_keys -> authorized_keys2

Or even better changing nxkeygen, nxloadconfig and nxsetup to create the files directly in this paths as the above would break as well if one did a --purge, --install.

Okay, summary:

Remove nxkeygen or even better change at least it to work.
