Hi there,
I need to share a console session with screen on a development server with a collegae (we are both on remote locations). It works when one of us is root. Problem is: how can I make it work for a non-root account?
I follow the procedures as depicted in http://cosmic.homeunix.net/blog/old/00000018.html
So that's - setuid of /usr/bin/screen
and after starting screen from one session, giving the commands (with ^A : )
- multiuser on - addacl root
From a second console the root account can connect to the session with screen -x [ACCOUNT]
Wel, that's fine and its really helpfull to share a console that way. But you can probably imagine that I don't particularry want to work from a rootaccount and in many cases it would not be an option.
If I connect to the session from a non-root account (which has been given proper acces rights to the session, of course) you get
"Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/4' - please check."
So probably the non-root account cannot read from the pseudo terminal device file. How would I be able to give this non-root account access to the session? Make it a member of the tty group and set r/w access on the device? WOuld that be safe?
Regards,
Iwan
