[Cialug] SSH Tunneling Howto

[Barry Von Ahsen]

I had it running on centos about a year ago.  my super detailed notes were:

packages: freenx plus deps

copy /etc/nxserver/node.conf.sample to node.conf

copy /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.public.key into nxclient


the 3rd step was the one that was the most confusing the first time - 
you've got to copy that key into your client for the auth to work, but I 
think you need to set up the connection and have it fail once before you 
can add the key.


I also use the sshd AllowUsers option so I had to add the nx user to 
that list


it seemed okay, but the users couldn't copy/paste from their desktop 
through to the client, so that was a deal breaker
