I've installed nx & freenx on a RHEL 6.3 via the 'yum install nx freenx' command. In the configuration file, node.conf, I've un-commented the following lines:

ENABLE_USERMODE_AUTHENTICATION="0"
ENABLE_PASSDB_AUTHENTICATION="0"
ENABLE_SSH_AUTHENTICATION="1"

On my mac client I have installed the NoMachine player and copied the client.id_dsa.key from the server. On the server I am able to successfully start the nxserver via the nxserver --start command. When I run nxserver --status I get the following output:

NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 3.2.0-74-SVN OS (GPL, using backend: not detected)
NX> 110 NX Server is running
NX> 999 Bye

So to me it means that the nexserver is running and indeed I'm able to telnet into the port. THe problem is that when I try to connect using my NoMachine client I get the following error almost instnantly:

The NoMachine service is not available or the NX access was disabled on host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Now I have the same setup on another computer and I've never had an issue with any of this. Any thoughts?

When you say that it works on another computer, do you mean another MacOSX machine, with the same OS version ? Because I had many problems with the latest versions of MacOSX since it doesn't come with Rosetta anymore. You may want to try "opennx" instead of the Nomachine client.

Can you ssh to the server? Is there a firewall enabled on the Linux side (iptables)?

Isn't the version of Nomachine in freenx older than what's available via the Nomachine website?
