Hello again,

a) I can't log into my server by ssh
I got this:

ivan at dementor ~ $ ssh root at 192.168.1.247
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic).
ivan at dementor ~

This happens since I change these values to:
PasswordAuthentication no
AllowUsers nx root ivan
on sshd_config

b) I deleted the pass with, passwd -d nx but I have the same results

c) :)

d) I have a few questions about that: Who and How creates these files:
authorized_keys2, client.id_dsa.key?
I dont't have them in /etc/nxserver and I don't know where them are
