When I try to login from another machine on my network I get:
Your guest account has expired...

The way NX works is it uses the nx user as an intermediate. You need
to login as a normal user, and you need to explicitly give that user
permission to use NX by doing nxserver --useradd yourname (which will
generate NX ssh keys and put them in that user's directory).

If you use interactive/PAM authentication on your system, NX can use
your user's normal system password; if you use key-based
authentication for SSH the only way to make NX work is to use its
internal password database and assing an NX-specific password to that
user. In nxclient, copy the normal SSH key, and then in the nxclient
login box put the NX username and password.


I think the user DB setting is in /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg

No there is no such file or directory on the server; that is why I'm asking if after 
setting the password for user "nx" I should run this command again:
nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge

as it is my impression that the setup was not complete.
