manage remote serial consoles via TCP/IP
This program provides a convenient way to manage remote consoles. The conserver(8) daemon maintains persistent connections to consoles, either to a local serial port, via a network connection to a terminal server, via a UNIX domain socket, by running a command, or (with the "ipmi" flavor) via IPMI serial-over-lan. It can also write logfiles, and restrict access based on user/group (read, read/write, none). User access is done with console(1) - this allows standard terminal commands including sending BREAK signals, and can replay output from before you connected. By default conserver<>console connections are done via a unix-domain socket, but in a larger installation, the "net" flavor can be used to do this over a TCP+TLS connection to another host - in that case, conserver(8) instances on multiple servers can be clustered. Flavors: net - use network sockets for conserver<>console and to allow conserver<>conserver connections. ipmi - build with internal support for IPMI serial-over-lan
