hi everyone,
I'm posting to this list as a last resort of getting freenx to work:
I tried the distroforums first, but it seems that they don't know either:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=871332
Anyway, since this is my last resort, I will try to be as clear as
possible of my last actions:
I installed the freenx by downloading the Fedora Core 7 packages:
yum install freenx nx
And I installed the closed source viewer from the nomachine site:
rpm -i http://64.34.161.181/download/3.0.0/Linux/nxclient-3.0.0-78.i386.rpm
Then I tried a few times (quite a lot actually without any result) to
get the server going. This is what I tried now:
Remote data from previous attempts:
/usr/share/doc/free*/nxsetup --uninstall --purge
rm -rf /home/Ronald/.ssh /root/.ssh /home/Ronald/.nx /root/.nx
service sshd stop
Retry:
/usr/share/doc/free*/nxsetup --install
# Create my own keys
service sshd stop
cd /etc/ssh/
# It seems that SSH only picks up keys at
this place (weird?)
rm -rf ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_dsa_key
cp /etc/nxserver/users.id_dsa.pub ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
# Copy the generated keys to the /etc/ssh directory (I did the
private one too, while I know that is not neccessary)
cp /etc/nxserver/users.id_dsa ssh_host_dsa_key
service sshd restart
# Restart the SSH-server (I attach the ssh.conf
for you)
/usr/libexec/nx/nxserver --adduser Ronald
# Add myself to the users
/usr/libexec/nx/nxserver --passwd Ronald
/usr/libexec/nx/nxserver --start
# Start the server (never saw any documentation
about this, but I think it's neccessary)
The client:
Host: 127.0.0.1
# Firewall configured to allow
Password: <as entered during the --passwd Ronald>
Key: The content of: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Ok, connection gives this:
"Server not installed or NX access disabled"
The log says:
NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 15977
NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command
NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files
NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options
