I was just looking for some clarification on the screen command and permissions:

I ran this command to allow the user to view their detached screen. Otherwise the user could not view their detached screen:

sudo chmod o+rw /dev/pts/1

However, does this mean that another non root user can view their detached screen(s)?

Essentially I just want to make sure that no other non root user can view the users' detached screen.

Also how does screen decide to use /dev/pts/1, /dev/pts/2, /dev/pts/3, etc.?

Thanks for your help

    I'm unsure what you are trying to do, every user can issue `screen -ls` and `screen -r` for screens they created. – fuero Sep 17 '13 at 10:41

I have started using tmux instead as It works much better thank SCREEN which is a little old now.
