[FreeNX-kNX] Freenx on Fedora 8 (Steve Bergman)

[Alastair Johnson]

The fix proposed by nomachine can be applied to freenx by setting 
DISPLAY_BASE to a different value on each server in node.conf, picking 
suitable separation to avoid overlap according to your number of users 
and servers. Ports are assigned as DISPLAY_BASE + X000 where X depends 
on the service (sound, printing,  file sharing etc.)
