Help With Fc4 And Nxserver


Recommended Posts

i've got it all set up and ready to go, service is running on my linux box, but when i try to connect thru my internal network, nothing happens at all. i've checked to make sure nxserver is running on the default SSH port (22) and i have all the information in the client correct as well. the daemon is active and responsive thru the console on the linux machine, but when i try to connect... i get nothing at all. i installed firestarter to monitor the incoming tcp packets, and there are no events on port 22 when i try and connect.. its like its rejected before the machine recieves it... any responses would be greatly appreciated.

hmm.. well i wasn't aware of freenx... and when i configure firestarter thru the gui, there is no options for exceptions, but it was already allowing all of my other daemons to pass... ie:hl2dm, http, ftp.... soo its kinda got me lost, but now i am considering removing nxserver and getting freenx. also i am fairly new to fc4... to uninstall the nxserver, is there a gui i can use, or do i have to do it command line? lol... yeah i usually stuck with debian or suse.. so fc4 is a lil different for me

FC4 , Are you running in permissive mode or do you have SELinux extentions off, also what parts are you allowing through iptables..

most likely its iptables set to block out side connections.

at the command line I belive as root the command is lokkit to get to the firewall and set ports...

here is the SELinux patch for NX

here is how to tune SELinux

this is for fedora core 3 but it you may see something you missed.

also did you just try to ssh into the box from an outside box?

well let me start by thanking you both. i am running SE linux and i used the lokkit command to allow 22 to pass thru the firewall. i found a good link thru google for a freenx setup on fc4, so it helped alot: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/ once i got it installed and running, made sure i had the proper user permissions, i just copied the client_dsa.key over to my client a viola its up and running. thanks again to you both for your timely response and helping me get squared away on my nx server.. it rocks.
