WML Sumo Thin Client User Guide

The desktop then appears, if authentication is successful. A message about the NX cache will be 
displayed the first time the user logs onto the server. This message is a normal part of the NX 
connection procedure. It will not be displayed if the user logs off the server, then logs on again, as 
long as the thin client hasn't been rebooted

.

 If the thin client is rebooted, and the user logs on to the 

server, the NX cache message will be shown again. This is because the NX cache files are stored in 
a volatile RAM disk on the Sumo.
