multiplexing console manager

We have hosted the application multiplexing console manager in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about multiplexing console manager:

If you are managing hosts, you want to see what's happening on the console. Ideally you want to interact with the console as well via a managed solution. multicons will watch that console for you and allow users to interact with the console keeping complete logs. multicons is a daemon that provides multiplexed access to network accessible consoles (e.g. terminal servers, Serial Over LAN, etc). Features include kerberised authentication, ACL based entitlements, multiple viewers/editors, full logging (text and XML) and more.

Features:

• Kerberised authentication
• Multiple readers (and optionally writers) of the same console connection
• ACL based entitlements
• Full logs kept of all console activity, with ability to replay in real-time
• Supports terminal servers via native TELNET support, or via tools that run in pty such as ipmitool, ssh, etc
• Supports VMWare's virtual console TELNET extensions
• Optional use of zookeeper to announce where consoles are being hosted
