Key/Screen-Logger for X ??

[otto]

Hi Forum !

I am wondering, if there is any keylogger/screenlogger for X ?
What I need: If a user is surfing around or using a webmail solution, I want to know, what he is reading/writing.
Does anyone know a solution for this ??

Thanks in advance !

If you are the admin of the domain the surfer is on, you can just check the surfers history and anything they put into a terminal.
If you are not the admin, sorry I can't help you.

I am the admin of the pc where he is working on.
But I don´t know how to avieve this...
Help would be appreciated...

Not to mention, it may soon be illegal to do so.

Now it becomes a network question.
If the computers are networked, you should be able to log on that person's computer as that user.
I think you have to telnet in or something like that.
Networking is not my strong suit, so I am not sure if that is accurate.

It is my own computer, I have full root rights.
So this should not be a question of rights or legal stuff, I think.
Just wanna know, if my mate has an affair or so.

Then it makes it real easy.
As root do

su - hisusername

Now you can check history, open a terminal, use the up arrow, that will tell you what commands have been issued.
Bring up the browser, check history to see where he has gone.

Yes - then I know, where he was. But I don´t know, what mails he got or sent - THIS is the problem...

[otto]

So I need just some software which logs the keyboard input and the output of the browser...
Any ideas ??

so, habs selber gelöst mit einem kleinen scripterl und xwd plus convert...
naja, ich hätt halt gehofft gehabt, daß es was fertiges gibt, aber zum glück is sowas ja unter linux kein problem....
