Cool idea for training

[Duke of URL]

The new edition [freebsdzine.org] looks great. I like the style, very clean and easy to read. My strained eyes thank them.

They offered a cool idea for training people on problem fixing in a UNIX environment. I bet lots of other people have done this, but its still cool.

You can let someone see whats going on, i.e. commands and output, on your screen that someone else, the instructor or admin, is doing. That way you can learn too. Neat. The author, Jamie Hermans, explains it better of course, under the "Just Snooping Around... [freebsdzine.org] section":

By adding one line to the FreeBSD kernel recompiling and adding a few devices, you enable "snooping" on a server. Anyone logged in as (or su'd to) root can watch any other active session. This is great for literally walking someone through an install of the "latest port" or fixing that stubborn error message.
