IIRC screen, perhaps tmux too, has some rather complex set of permissions management options, which I would not be surprized if it turns out that actually do allow sharing a session from two different users. I did not try this. I su to the person's user if I want to share a session. Note that (by default?) you need to chown your tty to the other user or screen won't work. > > Just note that tmux inside of tmux or screen inside of screen tend to > behave bad/not work, screen inside of tmux works, I never tried the > other way around. Never had problems with screen inside screen. Actually, my everyday work environment comprizes of 3-level screens, some of which also have tmux inside them. I use different key combinations to travel around and it works very well. IIRC I did have to change a few configuration options when moving it from RedHat/CentOS to Debian, but other than that, it worked more-or-less error-free for something like 5 years now. Tell me if you want my configuration. It's not very elaborate, only does what it's meant to do - if you google for things like screenrc you'll find many examples of what people do with it. -- Didi _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
