Hi,

(Please respond also to nowhereman.sme@gmail.com as I'm not on the list..)
I have tried freenx server on coLinux (running inside W2k) with Debian
Sarge. I have configured everything ok (I think), also run the nxsetup:

colinux:~# nxsetup
------> You did select no action.
        FreeNX guesses that you want to _install_ the server.
        Type "y" to abort the installation at this point in time.
        "N" is the default and continues installation.
        Use "/usr/sbin/nxsetup --help" to get more detailed help hints.

 Do you want to abort now? [y/N]

------> It is recommended that you use the NoMachine key for
        easier setup. If you answer "y", FreeNX creates a custom
        KeyPair and expects you to setup your clients manually.
        "N" is default and uses the NoMachine key for installation.

 Do you want to use your own custom KeyPair? [y/N]

Ok, nxserver is ready.

PAM authentication enabled:
  All users will be able to login with their normal passwords.

  PAM authentication will be done through SSH.
  Please ensure that SSHD on localhost accepts password authentication.

  You can change this behaviour in the /etc/nxserver/node.conf file.
Have Fun!

colinux:~# grep nx /etc/passwd
nx:x:103:106::/var/lib/nxserver/home:/usr/lib/nx/nxserver

colinux:~# nxserver --status
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-45-SVN OS (GPL)
NX> 110 NX Server is running
NX> 999 Bye


But when I'm trying to connect to the server (192.168.0.40), the windows
NoMachine NX client (192.168.0.1 - virtual interface) shows message "Setting
up the X environment" and nothing else happens. I can connect to the linux
installation via ssh no problem.. Neither tcpdump (on Linux side) nor
ethereal (on Windows) show _any_ ssh packets (on any interface) being sent
from the NX client??!

$ ssh 192.168.0.40
Password:


The sshd is listening on all the interfaces on standard port 22

colinux:~# netstat -tupan | grep ssh
