Data FreeNX on FreeBSD
Hello !
I just installed FreeNX on my FreeBSD box following this tutorial ( http://www.averageadmins.com/blog/20...eebsd/#more-49 ). It sounds quite simple, and I've got no errors during installation.
I installed NX client on my WindowsXP station and I try to connect. When I try to connect to FreeBSD box using NX client it makes the connection and waits for authentication ("Waiting authentication"). This is how it stays until I get the "Connection timeout" message.
I tryed to connect in diferent ways... with/without SSL encryption... using port no. 22 (ssh) or 23 (telnet - it doesn't even connect).
What I noticed and it sounds a little bit weird is this:
Code:
root@server# ps aux | grep nx

root@server#

Any ideea why I'm not able to connect ? On NX client I set the Desktop UNIX and the GUI Custom ("Run the default X client script on server"). Could be this problem beacause I only have XFce4 on the FreeBSD machine ?
So... this would be the situation... If I forgot to mention something, just let me know.
Thanks!

getusershell

getusershell(3C)					   Standard C Library Functions 					  getusershell(3C)

NAME

       getusershell, setusershell, endusershell - get legal user shells

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       char *getusershell(void);

       void setusershell(void);

       void endusershell(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  getusershell()  function  returns  a  pointer  to  a  legal  user  shell  as defined by the system manager in the file /etc/shells. If
       /etc/shells does not exist, the following locations of the standard system shells are used in its place:

       /bin/bash		  /bin/csh
       /bin/jsh 		  /bin/ksh
       /bin/pfcsh		  /bin/pfksh
       /bin/pfsh		  /bin/sh
       /bin/tcsh		  /bin/zsh
       /sbin/jsh		  /sbin/pfsh
       /sbin/sh 		  /usr/bin/bash
       /usr/bin/csh		  /usr/bin/jsh
       /usr/bin/ksh		  /usr/bin/pfcsh
       /usr/bin/pfksh		  /usr/bin/pfsh
       /usr/bin/sh		  /usr/bin/tcsh
       /usr/bin/zsh		  /usr/xpg4/bin/sh

       The getusershell() function opens the file /etc/shells, if it exists, and returns the next entry in the list of shells.

       The setusershell() function rewinds the file or the list.

       The endusershell() function closes the file, frees any memory used by getusershell() and setusershell(), and rewinds the file /etc/shells.

RETURN VALUES

       The getusershell() function returns a null pointer on EOF.

BUGS

       All information is contained in memory that may be freed with a call to endusershell(), so it must be copied if it is to be saved.
