IIRC, nx defaults to /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys2 whereas we always use /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys. I would ensure nx is configured to look in the correct directory for the public key. We have zero windows boxes in my shop so I do not know how or if windows can be configured with key authorization. You could try temporarily enabeling password authorization on the server and see if that works. HTH, B.J.

The NX user is the user who authenticates via ssh, and you authenticate via nx to the proper session. Go through the steps in the wiki again carefully and double check the logs to see who you're attempting to authenticate as. I'd bet you're trying to auth as your user instead of as the nx user and since the wiki states that only the nx user is authorized (via the AllowUsers nx statement) auth is failing for that reason. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

All you should have to do is push the 'key' button when configuring the client for that host and paste in the contents of /etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.key from the server. Unlike the commercial server, freenx generates a unique key for each host. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
