I created some quick and dirty scripts to take advantage of this client/server separation in tmux to work in cases where there are no shared credentials, and where you may not actually even have a login. It works similarly to vncviewer in -listen mode: http://www.torriefamily.org/~torriem/wiki/computer_stuff:shareterm For those who don't care to view the page, my script allows one to run a server process on a publicly-accessible host, and then the client script creates a tmux session and "sends" it to the server, similar to how vncviewer -listen works. This can be used to help another people with a linux problem without having to know any login information. Also the client sending the terminal session can be behind a firewall. Everything is encrypted with SSL, but even better, keystrokes entered by the client (passwords, etc) are never sent to the remote server. Only what echos to the screen is sent. And of course keystrokes from the server are passed to the client. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
