On the freenx email that I am reading which comes also from the suse
9.3 /usr/share/doc/packages/FreeNx/READMEN.SUSE, it says 

 distribute the
generated private key (/home/.nx//.ssh/id_dsa) to your clients

There is no such animal.

Changed the file permissions as mentioned in the file for the authorized_keys, & authorized_keys2, etc, still no change

Wanted to try

" so all users will
be able to login with their normal passwords. Set
"ENABLE_PAM_AUTHENTICATION" to "0" in /usr/bin/nxserver to disable
PAM_AUTH. In this case you need to add your users (again as root),
like "nxserver --adduser " and "nxserver --passwd". The user must
exist in the system database for local users first."

But there is no such "ENABLE_PAM_AUTHENTICATION" in the nxserver script. No info on where to add or what the correct syntax is. Anyone have any idea about this?
