The first time I experienced this problem, I tracked back my system update history to find out what had been changed, and I found that the freenx package had just been upgraded.  So I have the impression that this problem is related to the upgrade to freenx-0.7.3-6.el5.

I cannot reproduce the problem on 3 systems I have tried so far.  For
testing, I ran the command suggested by Robert:

 find / -type d -exec ls -al "{}" ";"

I'm running the CentOS version on all servers:

freenx-0.7.3-6.el5.centos.x86_64
nx-3.4.0-6.el5.centos.x86_64

My client is running the latest from Nomachine:

nxclient-3.4.0-7.x86_64

Tamás, when you eventually had a chance to go back to an earlier
version of nx/freenx from CentOS and find that the problem is indeed
related to the latest version, could you please file a report at
http://bugs.centos.org ?

You can find what has changed in the CentOS version of nx/freenx in
this summary report:
