And indeed the first attempt I tried with tmux was using socat to redirect the unix socket itself that tmux clients and servers use. However, that didn't work since the tmux server and client have to share things somehow (can't remember the details; the developers said it wasn't possible, which was unfortunate). That's when I realized socat could create a pty and tunnel that, and then I just had to run the tmux client locally, with the socat-created pty as its pty. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
