[CentOS] Run GNU screen as a normal user

Hi guys,

I am currently looking for a workaround with regards to running screen as a normal user.

When I try to run it, I get the following:

[mbaluyos@mla torrents]$ screen Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check.

To get around this, I had to chmod 777 /dev/pts/0. It's an insecure hack so I'm looking for the right way of doing it.

Would anyone be able to guide me as to how I can run screen the way normal users should run it?

This behavior just seemed to happen with CentOS 5.3. I remember not running into such issues on an older CentOS/screen version.

Thanks in advance, Matt
