You may need patching for XDM.

Get it working with kde/gnome ( or xterm ) first.

What did you do here ??

Better to get it working without passdb first.

When ran setup, did you create your own key

keep the default Nomachine one ??

If you created your own key then you need to copy it to

Sounds like you didn't copy your new key over to the client.
