Display output of one xterm on another
Setup:
Two users, each likely on Windows PCs, using either putty or SecureCRT to connect to a remote Solaris server. The connection could be either telnet or ssh.
Wanted:
How can the output of one users xterm be directed to the other user so that you can easily allow someone to see what you are doing?
Back in early 2005, someone at work was helping me troubleshoot a problem and he somehow directed his output onto my xterm. All he asked for was my IP address. I don't know if the output was also being displayed for him or not. Around that time, I went overseas on a 2 year assignment. When I got back early last year, I went to the only two people I could think of that I might have been working with back in 2005 and asked them about this. Both said it wasn't them and they didn't know how to do it. I have played around with it a little but have not been able to make it work and I find that it would be pretty useful.
Has anyone here done this, or know how to do it?

xrlogin
XRLOGIN(1) General Commands Manual XRLOGIN(1)
NAME
xrlogin - start an xterm that uses ssh (or optionally rlogin or telnet) to connect to a remote host
SYNOPSIS
xrlogin [-l username] [-rlogin|-telnet] [xterm options] remote-host
DESCRIPTION
Xrlogin opens an xterm window and runs ssh, rlogin or telnet to login to a remote host.
Xrlogin automatically passes the -name argument to xterm with a value of "xterm-hostname" where hostname is the name of the remote host.
This allows the user to specify resources in their server's resource manager which are specific to xterms from a given host. For example,
this feature can be used to make all xterm windows to a given remote host be the same color or use a specific font or start up in a spe-
cific place on the screen. Xrsh(1) passes the same string so they are compatible in this regard.
Xrlogin specifies that the default title for the new xterm will be "hostname" where hostname is the name of the remote host. This and the
-name argument above can be overridden with xterm-options on the command line.
One could also use xrlogin's sister command xrsh(1) to open a window to a remote host. In the case of xrsh, the xterm would run on the
remote host and use X as the connection protocol while xrlogin would run the xterm on the local host and use rlogin or telnet as the con-
nection protocol. See xrsh(1) for a discussion of the merits of each scheme.
OPTIONS
-l username
When not using -telnet, use username as the id to login to the remote host.
-rlogin
Use the rlogin protocol to open the connection. In general rlogin is preferred because it can be configured to not prompt the user
for a password. Rlogin also automatically propagates window size change signals (SIGWINCH) to the remote host so that applications
running there will learn of a new window size.
-telnet
Use the -telnet protocol to open the connection. Use of telnet provided mostly for hosts that don't support rlogin.
COMMON PROBLEMS
Make sure that the local host is specified in the .rhosts file on the remote host or in the remote hosts /etc/hosts.equiv file. See
rlogin(1) for more information.
EXAMPLES
xrlogin -bg red yoda
Start a local red xterm which connects to the remote host yoda using rlogin.
xrlogin -telnet c70
Open a local xterm which connects to the remote host c70 using telnet.
