Trying to setup FreeNX



I've installed FreeNX server (SuSE version) and the NX client from
NoMachine, but I still can't get them to agree to talk to each other.
I'd like to use Vahis' no doubt excellent setup guide on his website,
but it's written in Finnish, a language not yet catered for by
BabelFish. Riikka, a nice lady at work, could probably translate it for
me, but I won't be seeing her again until Thursday, and I'd like to
start playing now ;)

Below is a copy of the failure as recorded by my NX client trying to
link to the server on localhost. And yes, I have copied the server's DSA
key to the client.

Can anyone debug the above, and advise where I might have gone wrong,
please?
