I've never posted to this group (since I'm not a real wizard), but I did have
the same problem.  I stuck together a pair of pty's with the log input/output
hook in the middle.  Placing this on the the login port I am able to see what's
going on.  It is mainly a modification of the sources presented in Richard
Steven's Unix Networking book.
