How do I share an xterm between 2 Gentoo boxes ?

[darkarchon]

How do I "share" an xterm between Linux boxes ? Person A and Person B can both type commands on the xterm, and both can see what the other has typed.

I can export the display but then the other person gets the xterm. How do I keep it as well as let him see what I am doing ?

I know of "script" which is the transcript of A's session feeding B's session in near-real-time.

Could VNC do something like this ? Or is it more geared for "full control" rather than sharing ?

Anyone heard of something called "split IP" for sharing applications ? Any idea what I am talking about ?

All guidance and insight is appreciated.

Thanks!

I just came across kibitz. Anyone used this thing ? Any thoughts ?

darkarchon,

VNC works well.
One user spawns a VNC server, then both cnnect to it with VNC viewer.

I've used it for helping out with installs so I can see what the installer is doing. It does graphics too of course.
