Hi, there's a limitation of users in a freenx server?
Hi, there's a limitation of users in a freenx server?
I think you can add 2 users usingand only 2 connections are allowed at a time. I'm talking about NX Free Edition obtained from www.nomachine.com, which is free, and convenient for remote desktop use.Code:/usr/NX/bin/nxserver --useradd
FreeNX (is different) may have the same limitation, but I never got it working with the latest NXClient, so I don't know.

I have been using FreeNX some days to connect to my Ubuntu Dapper at home from work, and im happy with the performance, but I have 2 problems:
-I dont know how to capture the X :0 that I left at my house. I searched on NoMachine's site and Google, but couldnt find anything about it. I would like to capture the X just like I do with x11vnc server.
-NXnode kills the CPU and memory after 12 hours (more or less) of use, and restarting the NXserver dont stop this NXnode. "NXnode --stop" doesnt work either. I could try -9'ing the process.... but I dont like that.
Edit: This is a top after some hours of using it

I remember reading that logging into an exisiting session was the only benifit to using krfb. NXServer doesn't support doing this, but it may be possible. I know most linux vnc software doesn't let you.
these packages located at:
http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett/seveas/freenx/
are compiled for breezy and dapper and work PERFECTLY!
the first post is not working anymore. Could the author change the links with mine above?
I found it much easier to uncomment the universe sources and do 'apt-get install nxserver'. That was when I was using apt for the first time and wasn't sure about adding another repository.
Here's the info from apt-cache:
apt-cache show nxserver
Package: nxserver
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: base
Maintainer: NoMachine NX <info@nomachine.com>
Architecture: i386
Version: 2.0.0-76
Depends: nxclient (>= 2.0.0), nxnode (>= 2.0.0)
Conflicts: nxserver (<< 2.0.0)
Description: NX Server
NoMachine NX is a fast and scalable terminal server system based on the
X11 protocol. NX lets you work fluently even across slow links like modems
and provides a full set of administration tools that make it a complete
desktop virtualization solution for your organization.
This package contains the NX server software.
Baseline:
nxnode: 2.0.0-99
This package requires the installation of a compatible version of the NX
client and NX node software.
Having just read the entire thread I know this question has been asked, but no one has answered it. Well it was asked three times by the same person.
NX Server is up and running sweet as a nut.
It works both via the internet and internally.
BUT - at work we have a proxy that requires authentication.
Needless to say this is a big stumbling block because the NX Client does not seem to have anywhere to provide the credentials.
I know it should work in principle 'cos PuTTY works fine through the proxy.
In case any one is wondering I am using port 443 which is then NAT'd to port 22 when it hits my router at home.
Please do not suggest using HTTP tunneling software becuase the through-put is very low.
Setting up my own HTTP tunnel server raises a whole load of other questions
Anyways, enough of my ramblings....
Anyone got any ideas?
Lastly, a big thank you to everyone in the community for supporting Ubuntu and helping me to get rid of my W2K server running IIS and Exchange.
This is way late, but for future reference, I always have a GNU httptunnel (httptunnel in apt) set up in my home server, and I use exactly that whether I'm behind a firewall or not, for the convenience of having just one listening service through my firewall instead of httptunnel plus a regular ssh port.
I use this tunnel to connect from work and I can tell you, even through the tunnel, it works notably well. I also made myself a set of portable apps for Windows, as in, that don't require installation, and the tunnel is amongst it. I can go to a webcafe anywhere in the world, set up the tunnel through a bat file, and then connect through NX or ssh at leisure.
Also, httptunnel supports authenticated proxying.
I love this utility ^__^
