== Sharing a screen session ==

screen first needs to be set SUID (this has security implications).

{{{#!highlight sh
chmod u+s /usr/bin/screen
chmod 755 /var/run/screen
}}}

Now create the screen session as your desired user, and do:

 1. Ctrl+a, ":multiuser on", hit enter
 2. Ctrl+a, ":acladd $user" (where $user is the username to share with), hit enter

Another user can connect to the screen session with:

{{{#!highlight sh
screen -x $session_name
}}}
