[FreeNX-kNX] Reached the maximum number of allowed users on this server.

[Michael Schmarck]

Hello.

I installed the NoMachine.com NX Free Edition for Solaris 3.2.0
on a Solaris 10 Sparc system. Installation was a breeze and it
worked just fine. But today, I tried to login as a user who hasn't
logged in before, and get the following error message:

    Reached the maximum number of allowed users on this server.

There are no other NX sessions running on this server - to make
sure that this is true, I did a "/etc/init.d/nxserver stop &&
/etc/init.d/nxserver start" cycle. nxserver also doesn't show any
sessions:

$ sudo -H env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/NX/lib /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --list
NX> 127 Session list: 

Display Username                         Remote IP       Session ID                       Node
------- -------------------------------- --------------- -------------------------------- -----------

NX> 999 Bye.

So, I think I really can say that there's nothing running right now.

But why am I unable to login with this new user? Before I tried logging
in with this user, I was able to login with two (2) other users. I know
that there's a 2 user limit in the FreeNX server, but per the homepage
at http://www.nomachine.com, it's concurrent users:

| "It allows 2 concurrent users to connect no matter what their 
| location is, and share the desktop."

Or is that marketing gibberish, and indeed there's not just a limit
of 2 concurrent users, but also of 2 users in total?

Thanks a lot for your consideration!
