I'm interested in using gnu screen
(http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/screen.html) as my default login shell
(ie, specifying it in the login shell field of /etc/passwd for my account)
Ideally, I'd like to have a new screen session created each time I login.
I've gone as far as to specify screen as my login shell in /etc/passwd and
actually perform a login with a screen session launched. So far, so good.
The problem is when I attempt a second login, screen by default will attach
itself to the first login screen session. That's not what I want - I'd
prefer seperate screen sessions for each login.
There appears to be a possible workaround using a combination of screen
command switches (-d -D -r or -R) which might help. However, I cannot (or
am not aware of how) specify command arguments via /etc/passwd. And these
options don't seem to have equivalents in .screenrc.
I'm using screen v 3.09.09 for Solaris.
Anybody else attempt the same setup and have success?
