Share screen session

  1. Start screen using the command:

    $ screen -S <SessionName>

    The -S switch gives the session a name, which makes multiple screen sessions easier to manage.

  2. Allow multiuser access in the screen session:

    CTRL-A
    :multiuser on

  3. Grant permission to the guest user to access the screen session:

    CTRL-A
    :acladd <guest_user>

  4. The guest user can now connect via:

    $ screen -x <host_user>/<SessionName>

Article on using sharing screen and using it as a teaching tool

Here's an article I wrote building on the same subject:

http://www.hollenback.net/index.php/TeachingWithScreen

the ability to share screen sessions with others can be tremendously useful. Also screen's built-in logging ability can come in very handy.
