There are an assortment of shadow-related settings in node.conf on the 
server side.  With those enabled, hit the config button in the NX client 
and set the Desktop to 'shadow' and the user/password the same as the 
user on the console.  You should see a list of sessions that you can 
shadow that include X0 (Local) - and any freenx sessions that user has.

The patch mentioned here is needed - you can look at your installed 
nxserver script to see if it is already included.

I'm using the package from the Centos extras repository and even with 
this change so far I have only been able to connect from a Mac NX client 
and even it doesn't size the window appropriately so more patches may be 
needed to make it work properly.
