Yes it is possible if we write some client server program like ttysnoop. The server code will hook to every root login in specific tty and will write fifo dump supplied by the client program. Long back, I had written same kind of code (lost some where ), which used to get hook from getty and do i/o with some client program working in remote console. If I get some time, I would love to write that again :-).
