Echoing remote user activity?

Hello,

I administer a NetBSD (1.6.2) server that receives remote logins over telnet with users running Csh. I wish to be able to occasionally bring up exactly what these users are doing. Echoing their consoles to mine would be ideal, but I cannot find any information on how this would be possible.

The closest I have come is the Ksh �history' file, but this is far from ideal as I would like to be able to issue commands as well.

Is there any way to monitor/control these remote users in such a way? I would be very grateful for any help.

There are several open-source tools for doing just what you describe. One of the more commonly used is TTY-Watcher. You can download it from En Garde's Home Page . I have only seen it compiled under Solaris, but some links on google claim to have it working under some BSD distros.

Cheers,

Keith
