node.cfg

back up

[root@localhost ~]# cd /etc/nxserver/ [root@localhost nxserver]# cp node.conf node.conf.org

edit node.cfg like this:

[root@localhost nxserver]# cat node.conf ENABLE_PASSDB_AUTHENTICATION="0" ENABLE_SSH_AUTHENTICATION="1" ENABLE_CLIPBOARD="both" NX_LOG_LEVEL=4 NX_LOGFILE=/var/log/nx/nxserver.log COMMAND_MD5SUM="md5sum"

start freenx-server when booting up Fedora

[root@localhost nxserver]# systemctl enable freenx-server.service ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/freenx-server.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/freenx-server.service'

prepare a NX client.
I installed NX client on LInux Mint 14.

mint hattori # tail -1 /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 14 Nadia" mint hattori # uname -ri 3.5.0-23-generic x86_64

download NX client for Linux from http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-linux.php

mint hattori # ls *.deb nxclient_3.5.0-7_amd64.deb

install nxclient

mint hattori # dpkg -i nxclient_3.5.0-7_amd64.deb mint hattori #  chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp

start nxclient

mint hattori # /usr/NX/bin/nxclient

connect to the NX server ( Fedora 18 ) from the NX client ( Mint )

Okay , I can connect to the NX server.
