A simple archie should locate files xmon and xwatch, which can be used to
monitor the visual console. As for watching the characters/commands
typed over a network, this would be akin to ttysnoop or somesuch.
Perhaps a document such as the one located at
http://www.netsys.com/security/Xfirewall.ps woulld be useful for you. I
apologize in advance that I have neither the origial site, nor the text file
location available.
