What commands would i need to learn of to ssh into a remote machine and view exactly what is displaying on one of it's lower 5 ttys'? Im running Folding@Home and would like to check it's screen output every now and then.
the principle your suggesting would be highly insecure, while handy, it would be a pretty nasty approach. What you should do is try the "screen" program which officially allows this, i.e. you start a console program in a connectable viewer program, not a direct console.
