[ubuntu] FreeNX

I'm having problems logging in to Ubuntu 9.04 with freeNX from Nomachines. I installed the .debs from their site but I get this error on login.

What's in /var/log/messages searching for the supplied string?

freeNX works no problems with me, whats the error you have?

[somabc]

is this causing problems? Just noticed I cannot run X windows programs over ssh but it was working before?

 

/usr/bin/X11/xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/bcochran/.Xauthority

 

This is the permissions I have on .Xauthority

 

-rw-------  1 root root          181 2009-04-28 22:06 .Xauthority
