Sorry, I accidentally deleted the original message before responding to
it.
I'm not exactly sure why you would want this. Do you leave your terminal
open for others to use while you're logged in? I guess I don't understand
why you would need this.
If you're just looking for secure telnet access to other machines, look
into the ssh protocol. You could then make a button in wharf that looked
like:
*Wharf xiterm monitor_bsd.xpm Exec "-" xiterm -sl 500 -vb -e slogin
some_machine &
Ssh is secure because it uses encryption for ALL data transfers between
those machines and supports automatic X redirection. Both machines must
be running ssh to have this work.
