Hi,
can anybody confirm that shadowing with freenx works (i.e. retrieving access to an X session of the same user but that is running locally on the remote computer, so I can manipulate the desktop from somewhere over the WAN and the user sitting in front of the desktop locally is my manipulation)? I only get an empty list when it displays the active X11 sessions....Does the nx-server need to be run before X is started or doesn't it matter at all?
I also tried to create a nxshadowacl file in the bin-folder which returns '0' anytime (which may be used to ask for shadow permission) and enabled all shadow settings in freenx's node.conf (set to interactive mode and not to ask for permission per se), result: it still doesn't work....
thanks!

AFAIK, no. It creates its own instance of X. What you want is vnc. This thread might give you ideas.

@aeon_ : Its really late, but if you still interested in that, check out the current FreeNX wiki article.

Thread resurrection lol... Not sure if it is still relevant but this worked as well or at least did up to about 7-8 months ago and is how it should be done. If it does not work now by default someone really should really merge the patch to the package so these threads can stop popping up every couple months.
