I am new to screen, and am having this same issue with multiuser mode on
AIX. I saw Bug #15003 was opened for this problem, but was closed for lack
of info. I'm a sysadmin, not a developer, but I'd be glad to provide more
info for this problem. What info would be most useful?

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.
