watching another telnet session

JustinHoMi · 09-22-2001, 02:01 AM

Howdy. I'm setting up a server for a friend of mine, and installing quite a few things. He's interested in knowing how I do all of this stuff, but he lives a ways a way. So what I was thinking, is have him view my telnet session, and watch everything I do. Is this possible? Oh wait, this is linux. Let me ask, how is the possible? =)

Thanks,
justin

Code:

# Use this one instead if you want to snoop on telnet users (try to use this
# for ethical purposes, ok folks?), and see 'man ttysnoop' and /etc/snooptab
# for further instructions:
# telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetsnoopd

The above is from my inetd.conf, so it looks like you may want to look into ttysnoop and its telnet daemon too.

cheers
