This means you have SSH authentication trouble, check that the file
exists according to your setting in node.conf (SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEYS =
"authorized_keys2"). Check the SSHD configuration (is the 'nx' user
allowed to login?) according to the wiki on
http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=FreeNX_FAQ

If all fails, try to run the setup again and reinstall manually (use
nxsetup).

Check and add the path to the binaries for FreeNX.

I don't know Fedora well, but is there any SELinux issues, maybe?
