It is definitely doable using telnet and a sniffer. You could just pump the sniffer's output into a filter and then dump it to n terminals. I'm sure you could do the same with the console device, but in a different fashion. I wonder if there isn't something already out there? Hmm, let's see.. http://freshmeat.net/projects/maxty/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/interceptty/ Those are for ttys. I'm sure there are others. Now, I got a little curious and tried something. I opened up an xterm that was attached to /dev/pts/1 and then in another xterm typed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# cat /etc/printcap > /dev/pts/1 In the xterm attached to /dev/pts/1 I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dpuryear]$ i am here bash: i: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] dpuryear]$ # /etc/printcap # # DO NOT EDIT!
