Monitor telnet/x-windows sessions

[Mike_316]

Hey Folks,

From an administrative security viewpoint, is there a method to monitor the data being sent through a telnet/x-windows session, or even map a session to export its display to 2 addresses (I.E. the users IP:0 and an administrtive terminal's IP:0?)

Thanks!

Mike

Hi Mike,

Have you looked into xvnc? That will allow you to not only monitor but also participate. For now the console display cannot be shared but other ports can be. Here is the link, if you haven't looked so far -
