Hello screen users,

Im trying to setup a screen with 'view only' for other users. This I can do quite easily from within a screen session, but not from my .screenrc. Reading this mailing list and googling an afternoon, all i can find is other user with the same problem: from within screen it works, not from .screenrc.

I'd really like to know if I can use .screenrc to create the proper permissions for users, or if I should start looking a script utilizing the -X option to send the proper commands to the running screen. The weird part with using .screenrc is that I CAN prevent the user using colon and I CAN prevent detaching but I cannot prevent them typing anything at the prompt..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What works to create a "view only"
screen
:multiuser on
:aclchg user -rwx "#?"
:aclchg user +x "detach,colon"


non-working .screenrc:
r...@just-laptop:~# cat .screenrc
startup_message off
aclchg leen -rxw "#?"a
aclchg leen +w "detach,colon"
multiuser on
