 |
|
I've recently installed freenx and I can login to the freenx server if I set sshd to accept passwords. I previously had sshd setup to only accept keys and not passwords. Can this be combined with nx? I could not find a setting for public keys in the nx client.

The answer seems to be no.

Some time ago, I was looking at FreeNX scripts and I recall them using
hard-wired password login. The NX Client asks the user for its
passwords, then SSH into the NX server as user nx which, in turn,
invokes nxserver. nxserver then takes the user credentials (ID and
password) then SSH into localhost using password-based login proxying
the user credentials.
So, to make the long history short, I think you will need a patched NX
Client and nxserver software to in order to use password-less NX
logins.
