What I'd like to do is something this: $ telnet conserver.mydomain.com [authenticate] Welcome to conserver.mydomain.com 1. New York 2. San Francisco 3. Chicago 4. Atlanta Connect to session [1-4]: Is it possible to get this kind of functionality without having to use console as the conserver client? Or should I run a telnet server that spawns a preset console [conserver-client] session? Also, I noticed that when I configure a telnet session in conserver.cf like this: console newyork { master localhost; logfile /dev/null; type exec; exec telnet newyork.mydomain.com; } the telnet session is initiated as soon as conserver runs. How can I make it establish on-demand only? Thanks in advance! Dylan.
