README for ttysnoop 0.11 (alpha) -- 09-08-94 This is the second release of ttysnoop for Linux. It introduces one new very needed feature and has various bug-fixes over the 0.0x release. (Thanx to those who e-mailed me!) The package allows you to snoop on login tty's through another tty-device or pseudo-tty. The snoop-tty becomes a 'clone' of the original tty, redirecting both input and output from/to it. From v0.11 onwards, user authentication is performed via a password prompt whenever snooping is done through a pty. To install, untar the archive, customize config.h and type 'make'. If all goes well, type 'make install' next and copy the example snooptab.dist file to /etc/snooptab. Edit this new copy and tell your getty/telnetd to execute /sbin/ttysnoops as the login program (instead of /bin/login). You should then be able to snoop upon the tty's listed in /etc/snooptab whevener a user logs in on them. Mail any bug-reports/patches/comments to carl@miskatonic.nfe.be or carl@p10.f500.n292.z2.fidonet.org. Carl Declerck.
