	Yeah, setup & tested the SSH first. First I was able to connect 
supplying the password; then I generated & copied the keys over, and 
turned off password auth in the SSH config. Still worked.
	Looking at the NX output above, it says "Authenticating user: nx". but 
in the NX client setup, I typed in the Ubuntu username. What gives there?
