In the file /usr/libexec/nx/node the line 558 looks like this PATH="$PATH_BIN:$PATH" $PATH_BIN/nxagent $R -name "NX - $user@$SERVER_NAME:$display - $session (GPL Edition)" -option "$USER_FA KE_HOME/.nx/C-$sess_id/options" $B $FP $AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X :$display 2>&3 & the original line (before the patch in the SRPM) looks like this: PATH="$PATH_BIN:$PATH" $PATH_BIN/nxagent $P $R -name "NX - $user@$SERVER_NAME:$display - $session (GPL Edition)" -option "$USER_F AKE_HOME/.nx/C-$sess_id/options" $K $G $B $FP $AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X :$display 2>&3 & So the patch in the SRPM of freenx-server removes "$P", "$K" and "$G" from the command line of the "nxagent", the problem is that "$P" disables or enables persistent sessions via ENABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION and DISABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION in /etc/nxserver/node.conf... without "$P" the session is _always_ a persistent connection, no matter which names you put in ENABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION and DISABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION. I added "$P" back to the command line of the nxagent and now I can again control which users can use persistent sessions or for which users I can deny such a connection. ENABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION adds a --persistent to "$P" and DISABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION adds a --nopersistent to "$P". Btw. the variable "$K" controls the keyboard layout and "$G" controls the screen geometry, I don't know why the patch removes these options from the command line but at least for "$P" I assumes it's a bug... The version of freenx-server is "freenx-server-0.7.3-15.fc10".
I also found this bug. It has apparently been fixed on Ubuntu. https://lists.launchpad.net/freenx-team/msg00233.html http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~freenx-team/freenx-server/teambzr/revision/78
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The bug still exists in Fedora 11 in file /usr/libexec/nx/nxnode line 558.
