All these years, the classic nx was not as dead as it seemed ;) It is used in production and develops as fast as it can.
I am very grateful to the developers of the ArcticaProject/nx-libs for maintaining backward compatibility and the opportunity to use their libraries instead of self-assembly.
Compared to the original freenx new features added by community:
-
CUPS Server mode: servers's system CUPS used directlty (witch sudo) and remote printers can be share between users;
-
NXACLS in user mode: control of starting specific applications and their substitution for users and groups;
-
Printers and shares multimount: in case multiply sessions from one client's computer try shares leave while there is at least one running session;
-
Pulseaudio sound: direct, tunnelled, with or without resampling;
-
Localization of windows sharenames;
-
Control of rootles sessions ending: based on application-process internal customizable map.
-
...
Thats all worked with opennx ce liux/windows client, but original nxclient basicaly alive too (with restrictions).
Debian package home-maded for Devuan ASCII now. There is a suspicion that under Debian Stretch everything will be fine.
