One possible solution might be setting up a script which is run after the drop to single-user mode. The script could use netcat or telnet, perhaps combined with some tails and then plugged into a shell. This would give you a log of the session, as well as a fairly(?) simple solution. The telnet/netcat would connect back to you, or open a listening session. This is not quite the same, but not that far off, is it? --- Marius Bendiksen, IT-Trainee, ScanCall AS <marius@scancall.no> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
