Hi,

 I am sharing the recipe for getting freenx server working. There is too
many irrelevant commands, all over the place, that confuse things.

1) su
2) yum install nx freenx-server
3) add "AllowUsers nx root <users>" to
/var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/sshd_config (not sure if this step is
necessary. Restart ssh ofcourse.)
4) turn on "ENABLE_SSH_AUTHETICATION=1"  in  /etc/nxserver/node.conf
5)  export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/libexec/nx
6) setenforce 0
6)  nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key (this will setup nx user etc
but won't create client.id_dsa.key and so on. Also don't user --purge
--clean option in the command. It destroys home/.ssh/known_hosts files.)
7) nxserver --start (this will create client.id_dsa.key and other related
keys)
8) connect using nxclient from no machine. qtnx has problems apparently.

You don't need nxkeygen or copy client.id_dsa.key left, right, and, centre
as mentioned in top google search links for freenx configuration.

Hope this helps. Just switched from ubuntu and is fedora seems much more
stable, so thanks for that..
