I've got a mysterious problem with freenx server running on Gentoo
Linux AMD64 that I'm hoping someone can give me insight into.

When I connect to the machine, nxclient reports that authentication
failed. The Details button is greyed. I've tried with with numerous
clients (linux/1.5, windows/1.5, windows/2.0, localhost), all with the
same results.

When I try to connect maually I get the following:
/usr/NX/bin/nxssh -nx -i /usr/NX/share/client.id_dsa.key "nx@<remote
host name here>" -p 22 -x -2 -o "RhostsAuthentication no" -o
"PasswordAuthentication no" -o "RSAAuthentication no

       expect {
               "Are you sure you want to continue connecting

               "assword*:"  { sleep 0.3; send "$password\r" }
               "..."
   (file "/usr/NX/bin/nxnode-login" line 36)
NX> 404 ERROR: wrong password or login
NX> 999 Bye

I know my password is fine because ssh (including x11 forwarding)
works fine to that machine. This method also works to various other
nxserver machines. Instead of the 'expect' crap, I get:
NX> 103 Welcome to: <remote host name> user: acarheden
NX> 105

The line "expect: spawn id exp3 not open" makes me suspect that expect
is failing to spawn ssh or ssh is dying, but I'm not sure how to test
or fix that.

The really strange part is that I know this worked with I first
installed the system just after installing xorg and kde. I've
installed a few unrelated things since then (a few days ago), but now
it's failing. I also have 4 other identical (i.e. installed using a
Gentoo stage4 tarball) systems that work fine.

Google only seems to have heart of this problem in Russian (I think).
I don't speak Russian, but based on the length of the thread, I don't
think the problem was solved. The reference is here:

Any hints would be much appreciated.
