[FreeNX-kNX] Oh those keys...

[Tim Hägele]

Hello Verner,
I had a similar problem where I could not log in and just run out of 
ideas why.
Eventually it worked after deleting the key in /usr/NX/home/nx/.ssh/ (or 
different path) an running nxsetup again.

In node.conf I set

ENABLE_SSH_AUTHENTICATION=”1″
ENABLE_USER_DB=”0″


Greetings Tim
