See snp(4) for the tty snoop interface.. it has been in the base system
since FreeBSD 2.1. watch(8) will use a snp device to snoop on a user's
terminal. You can also control snp(4) with your own code with ioctl if you
have a special purpose in mind. See the man page for details.

Both of these are present in the base release. As I mentioned in my
previous post, you do have to explicitly enable the snp devices in the
kernel before it will work. However, no additional files or packages are
required.

Hope this helps,
- Ryan
