Is there any such tool ? My ssh version is The ages-long tools is 'script', e.g. with option -f. Read 'man script' for details. This is not relelvant whether the users use ssh or not. You can make script to start by default as their 'login shell' and script would fork the real shell -- an anything the users do within that shell will be writen into a file or pipe somewhere, which you can read in real time using 'tail -f'. You can also always make your own little shell that copies the STDIN, STDERR and STDOUT of their session where you need to (e.g. a pipe or a socket). > openssh-server_5.1p1-5_i386.deb > > Thanks -- Serguei A.
