I'm installing Freenx and it will not install unless I enable in sshd_conf
UsePAM yes (password authentication)

What is the use use of ssh-key if I have to enable PAM?

FreeNX does not support SSH keys. It only uses one for its control user.

For an NX-based client/server that supports SSH keys, you might want to
look at x2go instead. Furthermore, FreeNX seems to be quite inactive
upstream (last update in 2008.) x2go is in the "nx" overlay.

Do you know if x2go runs XFCE4?

I installed Freenx but I'm not able to log-in :-(
Do I login with user: NX or normal my user name to the server?

Info: Proxy running in client mode with pid '27801'.
Session: Starting session at 'Fri Feb 26 18:14:16 2010'.
Info: Connecting to remote host '127.0.0.1:5000'.
Info: Aborting the procedure due to signal '15'.
Session: Session terminated at 'Fri Feb 26 18:14:51 2010'.

If x2go supports XFCE4 I will go with it :->

You login with the normal user. It's been a long time since I used
FreeNX though and don't remember its server configuration details.

The drop-down list here on the client shows "Gnome", "KDE", "LXDE",
"Windows terminal server" (lol), and "Custom". I suppose you need to
select "Custom" and provide the command that starts the XFCE desktop.

I was able to make it to work, under setting => advanced the "encryption" has to be enabled or it will not connect.

I'm just wandering if it is possible to connect to existing user session "not generating" a new session.

u can use nxclient w/VNC protocol. The server shall then invoke a local
vnc server, log into it with a local nx client, and let you log into the
local client. That way you get nx's performance over a VNC connection
(sort-of).

BTW, am I the only-one who can't get x2go to build?
