I am pleased to notice, that freenx and nx are now available through the FC5 repos. Free-nx is now at test7 and I'm using it with the 1.5 nxclient from "NOMACHINES".
There seems to be a couple of bugs, and I am wondering if anyone else has experieced them.
SSHD has libwrap compiled into it, and it is one way I use the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files to limit who can log onto my FC5 machine via port 22. It works perfectly with WinSCP or putty.
But I was getting authentication failures with freenx, when trying to connect. Only by removing the entries from the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files for the SSH daemon, was I able to connect with freenx.
I have another FC4 machine I connect to over the internet; in this case the entries in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny do not present a problem.
Code:
/etc/hosts.allow
sshd : 192.168.1.
/etc/hosts.deny
sshd : ALL
