Are the 1.5 nx client and freenx 0.4.4 server compatible?
I know they recently rev'ed the commercial stuff from 1.4 to 1.5 but
finding useful info on the nomachine site is painful (e.g. like the
changelog from 1.4 to 1.5 or release notes for 1.5).

When you log in as the nx user, do you get the nxserver prompt?

On the commercial nx server, you have to either set up users within nx or
you have to configure it to use pam.  I've used freenx successfully at
home, but I can't remember what I did to configure it.
