[FreeNX-kNX] Mac client trouble on Leopard?

Fri Feb 8 09:10:45 UTC 2008

Hi,

Look at:

http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-macosx.php

It says: "For PPC/Intel Mac OSX 10.3/10.4"

Leopard (10.5) doesn't seem to be supported. That means; no guarantee that
it will work on versions other than 10.3 and 10.4. It might explain your
problems connecting to an arbitrary NX server.
