For those not familiar with CTELNET, I first saw this product from Sun included with their cluster software. It allows a user (admin) to, with a single command, open several windows to any number of hosts. These windows are telnet connections. With the multiple windows a single command window also opens. Basically any command that one desires to have run on all hosts can be entered into the command field of this window. One can enter commands, Use vi, etc. . . and do so from a single point but with the actions occurring to any number of connected hosts.
I have been looking long and hard for such a tool for Linux based on SSH instead of Telnet or Rlogin. Anyone seen one, know of one? This type of tool is very useful for both clustered systems and non clustered where there is a desire to maintain a common configuration across several systems or when attempting to implement the same change across numerous systems. Thanks! Eric Sammons
