I'd like the user to be able to see what I'm doing for educational purposes - I usually have him on the phone at the same time. So I see a CLI window on my desktop, I work on his system, enter commands and so on, and _he_ can see a terminal window on his desktop where he can see what I'm doing, he'll see my commands and their output "mirrored". It would be nice if this worked in X (from the user's point of view), but a text mode solution (where he'd probably have to login first) is also possible and welcome. A lightweight solution would be very nice, I'd prefer to work with on-board means. Is there a comfortable way to do this? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
