How can I log a terminal session (input and output) without giving a user NETMBX privs? Something similar to BSD's script(1) command. Seems easy enough to do, but I can't find it. ..Bob Internet: page@ulowell.CSNET UUCP: wanginst!ulowell!page

Try $ SET HOST NODENAME/LOG=TYPESCRIPT.LIS

I usually give out TMPMBX and NETMBX by default. larry...

There are several versions of a program called "photo" that acts like
script. All of the versions that I know of use pseudo terminal
drivers.
There are several advantages to using photo over "set host 0/log":
o You don't need NETMBX. While there isn't much harm with
granting NETMBX, I can see restricting access to the network.
o You don't have to log in again.
o You can restrict access. Photo can check the parent process to
make sure that someone isn't running a photo within a photo
within a photo. Students would often get confused and do
multiple "set hosts".
The only real problem is that DECNET is much more efficient.
Photo (as well as several pseudo terminal drivers) have been
distributed on the DECUS Symposium tapes.
