This works from > the second account to detect the first user's session: > > screen -S user1/myscrn -ls Hi, Lars, I decided to take a closer look and this is what I see: I did the following: | % screen -S myscreen | % :multiuser on | % addacl user2 | % aclchg user2 +rwx '$#' Then logged on as user2, from an xterm: | % screen -S /user1/myscreen -ls | There is a screen on: | 3273.myscreen (Private) | 1 Socket in /tmp/screens/S-user1. The session is listed.. not sure what '(Private)' refers to..? But then I have a problem with permissions: | % screen -S user1/myscreen stuff 'ls ' | Cannot opendir /tmp/screens/S-user1: Permission denied So, it looks like user2 finds user1's session and tries to write to the socket, but is not allowed to do so. If I change the permissions manually, it complains that the socket directory permissions must be 700: | % sudo chmod +rwx /tmp/screens/S-user1 | % screen -S user1/myscreen stuff 'ls ' | Directory /tmp/screens/S-user1 must have mode 700 And if I change the ownership of /tmp/screens/S-user1 to user2, it complains that user1 does not own the socket.. | % sudo chown user2.user2 /tmp/screens/S-user1 | % screen -S user1/myscreen stuff 'ls ' | user1 is not the owner of /tmp/screens/S-vtest. I also tried running the command as the superuser, or prefixing it with sudo.. but then I get the 'No screen session found' error.. | % screen -v | Screen version 4.01.00devel (GNUa6eea7b) 2-May-06 .. which somehow does not look right.. the program's timestamp goes back to december 2009.. seems to be a git repos version dating back to about that time.. Rather than a bug, I have a feeling I'm not doing this correctly.. probably leaving something out.. Didn't see much in the screen user manual that helps.
