There is a known limit to the number of users for the free version of NX:

<code>
NoMachine version is limited to two 'named' users. To check or change these,
nxserver --userlist, nxserver --useradd, nxserver --userdel. These will have
been the first two users to connect.

13 August 2012 - Bug with "System" menu locking up NX session:

[[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730378]] and [[http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3796]]

When connecting to a RHEL6.4 machine running the NoMachine software, the keyboard mapping may be incorrect.  Specifically the "Take Screenshot" is mapped to the delete key.  To fix this, after connecting to the target machine via NX and establishing a GNOME session, go to System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and change the "Take a screenshot" shortcut to Ctrl+Print.  The fix should "stick" after logging out and logging back in.  Note, RHEL7 MATE the menu is in System > Preferences > Hardware > Keyboard Shortcuts.

The working package in RHEL6.3: xkeyboard-config-2.3-1.el6.noarch.rpm \\
The problematic package in RHEL6.4: xkeyboard-config-2.6-6.el6.noarch.rpm
