Which version? Whenever you ask for a problem, tell the authors exactly which version \
you are using.

That is strange.

What means kick off? How do they exit?

And this only happens once you start up a session with nxclient?

You're messages and nxserver logs can't be empty, please read the FAQ on \
troubleshooting to at least get the logs. Also get the and post the client logs.

Given the global nature of the problem, I however doubt that NX has anything to do \
with it.

Try the following:

- Create a new user "b" additionally to your user "a" on 'remote'
- Let "b" login into the machine 'remote' from:

* the same machine you login to 'remote' via nxclient
* another machine, where you have a screen running to login into 'remote'

If your nxclient also throws out user 'b' then you have a serious security issue (not \
your fault though) as no user should be able to kill off the session of another user.

Best regards,

Fabian
