You could try to reconfigure the FreeNX server with the nxsetup script.

Quote from the wiki (http://openfacts2.berlios.de/wikien/index.php/BerliosProject:FreeNX_-_FAQ/Server#80.25_of_the_authorization_problems_are_ssh_related):

nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge

This will purge the current installation, cleaning out the current
configuration and install & configure the FreeNX Server once more.
As you might notice, this will also install (and set FreeNX to use), the
NoMachine keys that are built into the NoMachine NXClient.
If you want to use custom ones, I would suggest to start with the
NoMachine key then later run the nxsetup script again, specifying that
you want custom keys instead (just try to run the nxsetup script for
the parameters it accept).
