Server FreeNX Installation
- Prerequisite: sshd must be running as a daemon on port 22 (This can be modified later.)
Setup FreeNX on Fedora Core 5 or later
- Make sure you are up-to-date
- #yum update
- Install FreeNX and all dependencies
- #yum install freenx
Setup FreeNX on FC4 or earlier
- Make sure you are up-to-date
- #yum update
- Install NX rpm dependencies
- #yum install expect nc
- Grab a Freenx package
- Use this package for FC2, FC3, FC4, and xorg based distributions
- Use this package for FC1, RH9, RHEL3 or XFree86 based distributions
- Next, grab an nx package
- This package was built on FC4
- This package was built on FC3
- This package was built on FC2
- Use this package if you are using FC1, RH9, RHEL3 or a Redhat compatible distribution using XFree86
- Install the RPM's
- #rpm -Uvh nx-1.5.0-4.FC4.1.i386.rpm
- #rpm -Uvh freenx-0.4.4-2.fdr.0.src.rpm
Configuration after Installation
- Since package installation successful, need to setup nx for FreeNX running
set PATH including /usr/libexec/nx, in order that file nxloadconfig is searchable during setup
locate nxsetup file, and run it as root
- #/PATH/TO/nxsetup
- Configuration files location:
/etc/nxserver/
node.conf.sample
passwords.orig
passwords
server.id_dsa.pub.key
client.id_dsa.key
users.id_dsa.pub
users.id_dsa
For FreeNX versions >=0.5.0 you might need to edit the file /etc/nxserver/node.conf
copy node.conf configuration file from sample
- #cp -p node.conf.sample node.conf
Then edit file node.conf correspondingly, comment out the following lines, and edit similar as shown:
- DISPLAY_BASE=4000
- SESSION_LIMIT=200
- SESSION_USER_LIMIT=200
- DISPLAY_LIMIT=200
- NX_LOG_LEVEL=6
- NX_LOGFILE=/var/log/nx/nxserver.log
- SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=1
- USER_X_STARTUP_SCRIPT=.Xclients
Every time after edit configuration file node.conf, restart nxserver:
- #nxserver --restart
Before nxclient is able to connect with nxserver, need to copy the PRIVATE KEY to client side for ssh authentication purpose.
The file is located at /etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.key
