Only works as root, regardless of who started the screen. For your situation, assuming I've interpreted it correctly, you should get the user to SSH into your box, set their shell in /etc/passwd to /usr/bin/screen -S (something memorable) /bin/bash, and yourself run sudo screen -x (something memorable) to view it. Beware if you're trying to spy without being noticed: screen -x is interactive, so be careful what keys you hit. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
