由於 NoMachine免費版本只能支援 2 個使用者. 在家用當然是足夠. 但是要給多人用就沒辦法了. 只好自己架設免費的 FreeNX server.

在安裝 FreeNX Server 前. 請記得安裝 expect.
# yum install expect

之後就去下載 FreeNX 和 NoMachine Client 的套件(freenx-0.7.3-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm, nx-3.4.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm and nxclient-3.4.0-7.x86_64.rpm)然後安裝 :
# rpm -ivh freenx-0.7.3-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm nx-3.4.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm nxclient-3.4.0-7.x86_64.rpm

CUPS Printing Backend

The NX Client set-up procedure detected that your “IPP CUPS” printing
backend doesn’t allow printing from the NX session. In order to have
printing support in your NX system, you need to set proper permissions
on the IPP backend. Please execute:

chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp

設定 NX server :
# nxsetup –install –setup-nomachine-key

Setting up /etc/nxserver …done
Setting up /var/lib/nxserver/db …done
Setting up /var/log/nxserver.log …done
Adding user “nx” to group “utmp” …done

Ok, nxserver is ready.

PAM authentication enabled:
All users will be able to login with their normal passwords.

PAM authentication will be done through SSH.
Please ensure that SSHD on localhost accepts password authentication.

You can change this behaviour in the /etc/nxserver/node.conf file.
Have Fun!

複製 node.conf.sample 範本檔案到 node.conf :
# cp /etc/nxserver/node.conf.sample /etc/nxserver/node.conf

檢查 FreeNX Server 是否有執行 :
# nxserver –status

NX> 100 NXSERVER – Version 3.2.0-73 OS (GPL, using backend: not detected)
NX> 110 NX Server is running
NX> 999 Bye

將 /usr/bin/nxserver –start 指令放在 /etc/rc.local 內 機器每次開機都執行 FreeNX sever
