[FreeNX-kNX] Starting a NX-session fails while publickey is OK but still rejected

[Freek de Kruijf]

When I start a NX-session I have enables DEBUG logging in sshd.

Below are the lines in the messages file:
Jul  3 13:29:54 eik113 sshd[4215]: debug1: trying public key file

I can login from the same machine using publickey access OK.
There is nothing in the file /var/log/nxserver.log; which has the proper 
access rights. Owner is nx.

I make the connection using ssh -i <file with private key> nx@<nxserver> which 
gives me the an annoucement and the NX> prompt on a server that works. But I 
get "Connection closed by 192.168.1.33" on the above system.
