I do, but I have some major issues with the design of how NXserver and
FreeNX works (they use a SSH tunnel with a publically known key and
nxserver set as the shell, then use their own authentication inside
that, they use /usr/NX which is not ok wrt the FHS, I've seen
/home/.nx mentioned as the nxserver user's home directory, which is
something I think is wrong, wrong, wrong).  Therefore, I am writing a
nxd which will have a different design than NXserver.
