Fedora .spec needs to chown nx:nx /home/.nxhome

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Fedora spec file leaves ownership of /home/.nxhome as root:root, meaning 
neatx can't create /home/.nxhome/.Xauthority , and you get a timeout error 
when the client is trying to connect.  The correct ownership should be nx:nx.  
This was also a problem in the Ubuntu build at one point (Issue 30).

I'm not really familiar with fedora packaging, but i'm guessing this will fix 
the issue:

diff --git a/extras/rpm/neatx.spec b/extras/rpm/neatx.spec

Can you test it and let me know? Thanks,

Thanks Steve.  That fix looks like it's in the right place, although you should 
also 
add the -R switch to chown just in case (useradd can create some default home 
structure below the user home dir, I believe).

I tested your patch and it works fine for me.  Yes, the -R switch is probably 
needed, useradd does indeed set up a default directory structure, and I guess 
it's 
possible for that to include the /home/.nxhome/.ssh directory.

Alrighty, updated patch out for review. Cheers for testing this and providing 
feedback!

Thanks Steve!  Much appreciated.  What's the chance of getting this RPM 
submitted to 
the Fedora project?  After applying the patches to the three or so minor bugs I 
submitted here, the RPM works flawlessly.

Thanks,
Luke

Patch committed. Re: submission to fedora, as i understand it, that would 
require a 
fedora package maintainer to adopt the package (see 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join for example).
