   I heard that berkeley has developed a program which redirects ALL
   output which would go to the console to a file.  Has anyone heard
   of that, and/or does anyone know where I might get the source?

I wrote a little hack to do this on our Sun server.  As long as your
tty driver has a TIOCCONS become-the-console ioctl, and ptys, then it
should work.  It is in the sunspots archive, under the name
consolelog.shar (I think) on titan.rice.edu.  If there is interest, I
can post it to comp.sources.unix etc.  I'd rather not mail hundreds of
copies across the pacific, however....
