From this message, it would appear that NX in Windows IS actually finding
the
key you are using, however, it would also appear that you have encoded the
key with a passphrase. Is it possible that NX in Windows does not have a
passphrase dialog capability, the ability to prompt you for your password
prior to connecting.
When I needed to work with SSH via Windows, I almost always used Putty as
the
SSH client. Putty includes an agent that allows you to pre-load your
keys,
entering the passphrase at that time and then when you connect with a key,
it
doesn't need to prompt you again for the passphrase.
You might consider using Putty to create a local tunnel for NX and then
connect the NX client through the tunnel. Or, as an alternative, try
creating a separate key that has no passphrase, install that and see if it
works. If so, then that confirms that the problem is with NX prompting
you
for a passphrase.
Well, I am quite sure that NX creates a key without passphrase.
I use freenx-0.4.4-1mdk and nx-1.5.0-4mdk, and the key is created by
/usr/bin/nxkeygen (called from /usr/sbin/nxsetup) with the following
command:
ssh-keygen -q -t dsa -N '' -f ${NX_KEY_DIR}/local.id_dsa
mv -f "${NX_KEY_DIR}/local.id_dsa" "${NX_CLIENT_KEY}"
mv -f "${NX_KEY_DIR}/local.id_dsa.pub" "${NX_SERVER_KEY}"
where NX_KEY_DIR=/var/lib/nxserver/nxhome/.ssh,
NX_CLIENT_KEY=${NX_KEY_DIR}/client.id_dsa.key,
NX_CLIENT_KEY=${NX_KEY_DIR}/client.id_dsa.pub.key
The -N '' option creates an empty passphrase.
