So, I took a session log from a known working system (running NX Preview) and looked at how the sessions were being delivered.  I noticed that the length of some of the headers had changed, and that they added the Username field at the end.  So, I created a patch for the nxserver shell script from FreeNX that modifies how it delivers those sessions to the client, patched it on a couple of my servers, and it works.  I also kicked of NX Client 3.5 on a client and connected it to the patched server to verify that it doesn't break backward compatibility, and it still works.

I don't think so - I would think the protocol itself is part of the open source nature of the components, and since it's logging it in plain text, that should be okay, but I wanted to check, first.  Also, should I post that patch, here, or is there a developers list?

Hi Nick,

there is no other list for freenx so post the patch here. You modified free software so in my opinion there is no problem with legal issues.
