Subject: Re: Screen Command
if the user isn't using screen at their console, there will be no
screen to connect to. afaik, screen cannot connect to any virtual
terminal, only ones created by screen.

if you are trying to figure out what this user is doing (kind of scary
that you have two root users logged in that you don't know), you can
check out root's bash history (/root/.bash_history), but there is no
way to spy (i assume that's what you're trying to do) if they are not
using screen already.

if you are an admin on this system and would like this capability, you
can start screen when a user logs on so they are already in a screen
session (thought i don't know if there is anything that stops them
from ctrl+A+D'ing out of it.

so basically screen can not connect to any old terminal, just other
screen sessions.
