You can do w to find out what someone is running, but you can't figure out exactly what he sees. You can try a cat /dev/tty4 - which will do some weird stuff - like every alternate key he presses will show up on your screen, and the remaining keys on his, but this would only alert him to the fact that something is wrong.
Furthermore, if you really feel the need to do so much snooping, then there's definitely something wrong somewhere.

What are the licencing costs for citrix? any idea?
he wants to capture console output - that's before X even starts. If you want to capture X output, you can use VNC - and you don't have to pay that much either.
you can also view a windows user's desktop using the linux citrix client or XWinX, or VNC.
BTW, on Win2K, there is no concept of before X starts.
That is against privacy buddy :-).....
It is also possible for mail admin to peep into all users mail ..... But they don't do it .... rather they follow ethics ..
on *nix systems u can use following products
w, ps, grep ;)
anyways if u seriously want to look for the utility which does this then TTYsnoop is what you r lookin for ...
Extract of TTYSnoop info :
TTYSnoop 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.

Please don't top post. You will need either a keyboard sniffer, or a network sniffer, or a trojaned ssh, or a kernel module to do this stuff properly. Unix does not allow this thing easily, because *users* have a right to privacy too. If you want to do it, you can with root access, but you are expected to wrok for it. root is just another user, albeit with a few more privileges.

Dear Luggers,
I have an urgent need of a team who could build/debug/deploy c/c++ based application servers for my client.
Do ctc me asap. Only those with previous project experience in c/c++ pls get in touch on my mail address off the list.

Not necessarily. This could be to do some sort of remote monitoring like a one way VNC session. I know of one telemarketing app that used this technique for QA purposes. It used some kind of pipe on the terminal device and rendered it using the curses library.
I'll see if I can find out more details and post them.

write a small script to read /dev/tty4 and then dump it into a file or set ur tty to tty4 ..
these are just wild guess but might help

ethics says this is wrong ..... to peep into some1 else's activities is not good dude ...
I don't know whether this can ans ur query... but for pointers i've seen one keylogger (LKM) part of the latest rootkit .... it logs all the keystrokes ... (u can specify the terminal to be logged with some lil coding ;) ...)
reading the terninal in some file by some backend process is the hrt of these keylogger utilities ....

y dont u try writing a script for reading the /dev/tty4 directly and then either displaying on ur term or dumping in 2 files
for 2 users u can try alternate keybd sequence or try to make sense by sniffing the text manually
not sure abt this but might help.
