Screen's proper multiuser mode can only be used if screen is installed setuid root. Weak, IMO. It does add a lot of functionality (like you mentioned, ACLs), but doesn't seem worth it. So far, screen -x is enough for me to do newbie walkthroughs and the like. You just have to share your account with them temporarily, and don't get the advantage of read-only access and stuff, but it's more convenient (easier setup, and no setuid install). good times, -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
