Yes, I tried it already:
passwd -u nx
passwd: unlocking the user would result in a passwordless account.
You should set password with usermod -p to unlock this user account.
Password changed.
What do you do next?
When I try to run again:
nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge
I get:
...
Setting up /var/log/nxserver.log ...done
Setting up special user "nx" ...passwd: unlocking the user would result in a
passwordless account.
You should set a password with usermod -p to unlock this user account.
Password changed.
done.
...
----> Testing your nxserver connection ...
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
Fatal error: Could not connect to NX Server.
Please check your ssh setup:
The following are _examples_ of what you might need to check.
- Make sure "nx" is one of the AllowUsers in sshd_config.
(or that the line is outcommented/not there)
- Make sure "nx" is one of the AllowGroups in sshd_config.
(or that the line is outcommented/not there)
- Make sure your sshd allows public key authentication.
- Make sure your sshd is really running on port 22.
- Make sure your sshd_config AuthorizedKeysFile in sshd_config is set
to authorized_keys2.
(this should be a filename not a pathname+filename)
- Make sure you allow ssh on localhost, this could come from some
restriction of:
-the tcp wrapper. Then add in /etc/hosts.allow: ALL:localhost
-the iptables. add to it:
$ iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
$ iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
So at this point I'm back to square one in log/messages I get:
User nx not allowed because account is locked
