We have an 'iocConsole' script which ssh's to a common machine as a common user (controlled by ssh public keys) and connects to a screen
session if it is active and otherwise starts a screen session. The
screen session multiplexes access to the single serial line. This
deals with most of your concerns, I believe.

1) We can control access without having to deal with IT
administrators (other than setting up the common user account to
begin with) -- just add a public key to the common user account. 2)
Multiple users can access a serial line session at the same time. 3)
Persistent scrollback, even if no users are currently attached.


Eric.
We are presently using a system developed in-house, but based
heavily on your description of your own iocConsole application. It works fine, but concentrates all access through a single host, and
requires maintenance to add and delete IOCs, etc. I think it would be nice and simple to just open an SSH or telnet session from wherever you are. Having both systems operate concurrently would be the best of all worlds.
