Watch other tty, give permission tty to be watched

2009-04-16 Thread Angelin Lalev 
I remember that BSD had a command (IIRC it was watch) that allowed
the superuser to watch any tty.
I want to use this feature in Linux if available, and I want to use it
quite ex-centric way.

I have machine on which I will install OpenBSD and during installation
I will use serial console attached to
my debian server.

Next I want to be able to show other (non-privileged) users what I'm doing.

Is that possible?

ttysnoop seems to do something similar, and may be a useful starting
point.
