Hi. I'm new to the list. Have been using screen on a limited basis for a 
few years. 

Neither I nor my *nix admin can see why I can't get multiuser to work. 
Details are below, but in summary, it looks like we have privileges and 
group membership set up correctly. But I get nothing but "Attach attempt 
with bad PID (###)!" errors when attempting screen -x.

Does anyone have any ideas on what we're missing? One basic question: is a 
confirmation given upon successful completion of an addacl command? If so, 
maybe that's where this is failing since there's no message given.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

$ screen -ls
There is a screen on:

C-a:multiuser on
C-a:addacl otherid

$ screen -ls
There is a screen on:
        823484.pts-3.servername   (Multi, attached)
1 Socket in /tmp/screens/S-ownerid.

---------------------------
otherid session

server /home/otherid-> whoami
otherid

server /home/otherid-> groups otherid
otherid : info system printq mqm

server /home/otherid-> which screen
/opt/TWWfsw/bin/screen

server /home/otherid-> screen -x ownerid/823484.pts-3.servername


Then this error is presented on ownerid session:

        Attach attempt with bad PID (###)!
