===== Using screen for Shared Console Access =====

Based on [[http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/08/14/1945249]]

To share access with another person, the screen tool can be used.

Log in to the machine where you want to share a console

  user1$ screen -S SessionName

SessionName can be any easy string.

  Ctrl-a :multiuser on

  Ctrl-a :acladd otherLoginAccount

As the second user, access the screen session

  user2$ screen -x username/session

At this point, both user1 and user2 have full control of the session, allowing either of them to steer the session.

user2 can leave the session with ''Ctrl-a d''
user1 can close the session by typing exit at the shell prompt.
