GNU screen: session locked by default if "multiuser" is on
Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2015 5:31 pm
[PROBLEM]
I want to start a GNU Screen session by a script, so I can easily run several programs in parallel in the background.
I'm staring the screen session by name, like this:
As you can see, I've also enabled "multiuser" mode for that session.
Then I can configure its settings and even start programs in certain screen windows, just as desired.
Unfortunately, when I disconnect, log out then log back in and try to reconnect using "screen -r", I'm facing a screen password prompt
I didn't set any password - and also the system-password of the user who created the session doesn't work.
When I remove the "multiuser on" option, the password prompt is gone.
But I want multiuser enabled but without any additional password to be entered...
[SOLUTION]
