Hi again, OK now I did a complete startup after clearing everything also I had to clear the user nx in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and in the two group files as well. Also I got a resh sshd_config and a fresh ssh_config from a friend who did not mess it up. I gave it a next trial with the newest rpms (nx 2.1.0-19.fc6.at-386.rpm and freenx 0.6.0-12.fc6.at.i386.rpm) got the athentication --> yipiiieee!! BUT the session startup failed. OK I googled again enabled loglevel=7 in node.conf, also I activated ENABLE_2_0_0_BACKEND=1 as I am using the 2.1.0 backend. Hopefully you can help me with this error .... The nxserver.log gives following output after some successful logs (at least some ;-)) NX> 148 Server capacity: not reached for user: lobs NX> 105 startsession --link="adsl" --backingstore="1" --nodelay="1" --encryption="1" --cache="8M" --images="32M" --media="0" --session="lobsNX" --type="unix-gnome" --geometry="1024x768+208+53" --kbtype="query" --screeninfo="1024x768x32+render" &link=adsl&backingstore=1&nodelay=1&encryption=1&cache=8M&images=32M&media=0&session=lobsNX&type=unix-gnome&geometry=1024x768+208+53&kbtype=query&screeninfo=1024x768x32+render&clientproto=1.5.0&user=lobs&userip=154.20.41.180&uniqueid=911474ED5AB68E47B7695E30C529C7E1&display=1000&host=127.0.0.1 lobs@127.0.0.1's password: NX> 1000 NXNODE - Version 1.5.0-60 OS (GPL) NX> 1004 Error: NX Agent exited with exit status 1.

Then I activated the SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0 and session in home/.nx/F-C/ gives following error message (there is no "error"-file): /usr/libexec/nx/nxagent: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/nx/libXcomp.so.2: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied Hm this is the directory: [root@localhost nx]# ls -l libXc* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80020 Mar 4 13:03 libXcompext.so.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80024 Mar 4 13:03 libXcompext.so.2.1.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1108200 Mar 4 13:03 libXcomp.so.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1108204 Mar 4 13:03 libXcomp.so.2.1.0 Should I change the permissions? chmod chown?

Thanks already for all your suggestions up to now. It seems i am getting closer .... By the way, NoMachine seems to support shadowing sessions (and also transfering the actual real display) with there new server version 3.0. Is there plans to implement such a feature in freenx in the near future as well? Thanks a lot Cheers Thomas ________________________________________________________________ Were you helped on this list with your FreeNX problem?
