I have a standard server setup for our application that requires freenx that I have been installing since centos 6.4, on a couple dozen servers. This server was given to me by a new hosting provider with centos 6.7, which I haven't worked on yet. Not sure if that is the problem or not. I'm no expert on linux that's for sure, this might be a problem with mirrors or repos or something else I'm missing?
Update: Packages are no longer available on many mirrors now for some reason
yum clean all

Error: Nothing to do
Please assist,
Thank you

Edit, looks like I'm going through dependency hell now (rpm sucks/im a newbie). Transferred the files to the server from the ATrpms mirror:
yum install libXpm
rpm -i nx-3.3.0-38.el6.x86_64.rpm
yum install nc expect xorg-x11-apps
rpm -i freenx-0.7.1-5.el6.x86_64.rpm
cp /etc/nxserver/node.conf.sample /etc/nxserver/node.conf
nxserver --adduser blah
-bash: nxserver: command not found
rpm -i freenx-server-0.7.3-18.el6.x86_64.rpm
warning: freenx-server-0.7.3-18.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 66534c2b: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/lib/cups/backend is needed by freenx-server-0.7.3-18.el6.x86_64
Stuck at last step now :(
Answer
On latest CentOS releases (6.6+ and 7.0+) the freenx package is gone. It is replaced by the x2go project/package
