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. ============================================================
