I regard this to be a problem with the internal ssh authentication
method of FreeNX. nxserver establishes a ssh connection to 127.0.0.1 by
default to authenticate a user by password.

There are two choices for you to solve this problem without changing
code, either have a sshd also be listening on 127.0.0.1 or using another
authentication method in nxserver, such as su instead of ssh.
