Hi. I've set up a EC2 using a standard Ubuntu 9.10 AMI.
I followed this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX#Installing%20the%20FreeNX%20server%20on%20U buntu%20Karmic%20%289.10%29) tutorial, and got FreeNX set up correctly. The default config for FreeNX is to use keys and not passwords for authentication. After setting up FreeNX it prints a message saying that it's now configured so that the user's can user their normal login information to access the server through NX.
The problem is that the AMI is configured so that the ubuntu user desn't have a password (http://alestic.com/2009/04/ubuntu-ec2-sudo-ssh-rsync). But the FreeNX client requires one, as well as a key.
Also, am i supposed to login as ubuntu? make a new user?
Comments are appreciated. Cheers!
