Hi list,

I have installed the nxserver (nx-0.33) from /usr/ports/devel/nx. 
(FreeBSD 6.2)

When I connect to it, it authenticates me succesfully. After that I get 
the following output:

I am not sure whether it is complaining about a 1 coming from somewhere, 
  or that the 1 is simply the exit 1 variable.
In other words, I don't know how to continue.

By the way, I tried from 2 clients (ubuntu and windows) which both gave 
the same result, so I guess it is not simply the client's fault.

Any ideas?

Cheers, Warren
