Haven,
Actually, from what I have written it is clear that port 4000 is not blocked. Check this out:
esarmien@rce6-portal-1.hmdc.harvard.edu
└─[~]> telnet rce6-1.priv 4000
Trying 10.0.0.98…
Connected to rce6-1.priv.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
^]q
telnet> q
Connection closed.
I can see here that rce6-1.priv:4000 (NX) is accepting connections, now I try to use openssl req to grab the cert
┌─[esarmien@rce6-portal-1.hmdc.harvard.edu]
└─[~]>openssl s_client -connect rce6-1.priv.hmdc.harvard.edu:4000
CONNECTED(00000003)

This is the weird part. Apparently it has no certificate?
I can actually use NXClient and connect directly to rce6-1.priv:4000 and achieve a session, but I am not able to –nodeadd.
Best,
Evan
