Sorry, my customer is bound to SL 6.10, a medical programm is only supported under 6.10 (and ubuntu 20.04) , a new server was just installed 2 months ago for 25 linux workstations (XDMCP linux clients, Win10 with NX ). Thats the server for next 5-7 years!! No update possible, special features for userfriendly communication with medical server in internet only supported under 6.10. , NOT 7.x , 8.X!!

Once again: who has idea why nxserver 3.2.0-74 is locked/ blocked?

Hello,

using SL 6.10, nxserver 3.2.0-74 .
Stop there. Update to SL 7 if you expect contemporary tools to work or
continue to work: the underlying RHEL 6 from upstream  The final
release of RHEL 6 was more than 3 years ago.

Why not accessible viel IP/ network? Only accessible local? What is locked on 
scientific?


example:

--pc44      30755  0.0  0.4 180096 120300 ?       S    10:00   0:10   _ 
/usr/libexec/nx/nxagent -persistent -D -name NX - pc44@arthur:1002 - DavidX 
(GPL Edition) -option 
/home/pc44/.nx/C-arthur-1002-27736AF6397123CD7F3F645BCA8E28A4/options -nolisten 
tcp :1002


nxstarts with "-nolisten tcp". Where is that set? - In /etc/nxserver/node.conf:

#AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X="-nolisten tcp"   #    is commented out!!

When  I modify it to

AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X="-listen tcp"     # nolisten -> listen!

Then nxserver doesn't allow any login, aborts with error message

Error: Aborting session with 'Unrecognized option: -listen'.


anybody here can help?

Some security policy on SL 6.10 that forces nxserver to "-nolisten tcp" ?

Or: who or what forces to start nx with "-nolisten tcp" although its not 
commented in in node.conf?
