At this point we should have everything on our FreeNX server setup and ready to test. It is now time to try connecting to your new FreeNX server. Please keep in mind that the username you are using to login to your Freenx server, is an accessible user created on the server. Good luck!

I could't find the key on the server which must be copied to the client and thought I was doing something wrong. I found out that if you use the argument: --setup-nomachine-key no such key is generated and the default nomachine key will be used:

from http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/freenx.txt

/usr/bin/nxsetup

This script will setup the configuration directory, the "nx" user account,
its home directory and DSA keys, and user loopback DSA keys. By default and
for security reasons, unique DSA keys are generated by nxkeygen. It is also
possible to use the key from !M. To setup this key, do the following:

/usr/bin/nxsetup --setup-nomachine-key

If you choose this method, please read the security section for possible
issues.


maybe it is my lack of experience, but it took me a while to figure this out. I got it running now so thanks! hope this will help some other linux newbie...
