[mosh-users] Feature request - session broadcast

[Rayson Ho]

Hi Keith,

The idea is that clients (students or anyone on the internet) should
not get a valid login on the machine. Imagine running a Linux 101
class over the internet with a home connection.

With this "multiple read-only Mosh clients" architecture, anyone with
valid read-only access could at most read the session and nothing
else.
