--- Comment #3 from Timothy Beyer <beyert@cs.ucr.edu> ---
The opennx port (much like it's replacement rxclient) does not work without=
 an
nxssh executable present, and prior nxssh executables to my knowledge were =
just
proprietary linux binaries, and prior to this, I do not recall nxssh being
available on FreeBSD, at least without the linuxulator.

That being said, for years I've used RDP with xrdp in a commercial context =
for
remote access, and have found it more than satisfactory, so this submission=
 is
mostly to resolve a long-standing issue ("Fails to execute
/usr/local/bin/nxssh", PR #240234) with the net/opennx port, which I mainta=
in.

In short, I do not believe that net/opennx ever worked due to this previous=
ly
missing executable.

I don't know what the correct answer is, as I don't have the motivation or =
the
use case to port rxclient right now, but as long as we still keep net/openn=
x,
then we will need this in the ports tree.

I understand the motivation to remove that port to reduce maintenance burden
for everyone involved, and to make this port unnecessary, if that is deemed=
 the
correct approach.
