I finally got around to toying with NX server again on a Fedora 10 box.

Installing freenx-server on the server and nomachine's nxclient on the client side, things did not work out-of-the-box on my particular setup. On the server side,

• You have to make sure you're allowing sshd via localhost.
  
• You have to ensure that ENABLE_PASSDB_AUTHENTICATION="1" is turned on in node.conf.
  
• You have to add the client username and password via:
  
/usr/libexec/nx/nxserver --adduser somebody
/usr/libexec/nx/nxserver --password somebody

  after having added the user somebody to the server as a local user.
