NXClient fails to connect with authentication failed for user.

Been trying to get FreeNX up and running for a few days now without any result
so I'm going to ask for help here. I am running on Gentoo AMD64 and I install nxclient and nxserver-freenx from Portage. The ebuild suggests, as do many online guides that I do this: * To complete the installation, run: * nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge * This will use the default Nomachine SSH key So I run nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge and it completes with a couple of warnings saying I can't request a GNOME session or printing or CDE (which is fine because I don't use/have those in the first place). Opening up nxclient and trying to connect using the default key and my user account fails to connect with authentication failed with public key authentication. Looking in var/log/messages gives me: sshd[10239]: User nx not allowed because account is locked I unlock it with usermod -p foo nx, where foo is the same password that I use for my system account named "dion". I try to connect again using the default nomachine key, with the username dion and the password for the account dion on the computer. It fails with "Authentication failed for user dion". Looking in /var/log/messages (with SSH loglevel set to verbose), I see: sshd[13479]: Connection from 127.0.0.1 port 40791 sshd[13479]: Found matching DSA key: blahblahblahblah sshd[13479]: Accepted publickey for nx from 127.0.0.1 port 40791 ssh2 sshd[13479]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user nx by (uid=0) sshd[13479]: User child is on pid 13481 nxserver[13611]: (nx) Failed login for user=dion from IP=127.0.0.1 I have checked that the public key is in /home/dion/.ssh/authorized_keys. If I do ssh -p 443 localhost on the computer with the account dion it asks for my passphrase of my private keypair (not the NX one) and I can log in and SSH in remotely fine without problems. I'm not sure whether it helps but when I try ssh -p 443 nx@localhost it asks for a Password, of which nothing I try can log it in. This is my sshd_config: Port 443 Protocol 2 SyslogFacility AUTH PermitRootLogin no RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes PasswordAuthentication no PermitEmptyPasswords no UsePAM yes Compression yes KeepAlive yes ClientAliveInterval 30 ClientAliveCountMax 4 AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys LogLevel VERBOSE (Note: I run SSH on port 443 on purpose, not by accident) Summary: When trying to connect using username and password for the account "dion" which exists on the box running freenx it says Authentication failed for user dion. Any ideas? Much appreciated. -- Dion Moult :-) ________________________________________________________________ Were you helped on this list with your FreeNX problem?
