Hi, I want to connect to my server, run screen as root and then let another person log in a root also and let him run screen and attach to mine so he can "see" what im doing on the server. I haven't played with screen a lot but it seems a nice feature to teach him how to configure certain things. Sorry for the newbie question.
Others have already pointed out that something like "screen -R -x" is probably what you want for "Multi display mode".
Just so you're aware, there's a tool called kibitz which comes with expect which is specifically for this sort of terminal sharing.
TBH, I can't think of anything you couldn't do with screen that kibitz would provide but it's worth knowing about incase you're ever on a system without screen but with expect.
Will.
