I tried sshing in over putty and also from a linux gnome-term on a
different machine.
Btw, I'm using Vista, is this a problem perhaps?
Also the user I'm ssh-ing into does not have administrator privleges,
might try changing that. I tried to do a cat
/tmp/uscreens/S-name/socket-name and it says permission denied
CYGWIN is set to ntsec tty
/etc/passwd is created using mkpasswd -l
and ssh confugred using ssh-host-config -y or what was that command again
what else could be interesting?
I think that screen does bad at error reporting either it doesn't say
anything or it blurps some strange messages like, "you die in a
dungeon" or something.
btw, after checking processes with ps I can see that screen and bash
are running, i just can't attach to that screen session.
