Good Day everyone!
As a seli-starter with tmux, i'll expose my use case by a little scenario :
+ Beth is working on a project and wants to show it to Bob
+ but she doesn't want Bob to do anything on it (read only).
I thought i'd be able to achieve such a situation by using Sockets :
1. BETH and BOB are two users on the server and
2. both belong to group GUSERS
3. here is what Beth could do :
_BETH$ tmux -S $tm/sBETH
_BETH$ ls -l $tm
_total 0
_srw-rw---- 1 BETH GUSERS 0 Mar 28 22:32 sBETH
and Bob side :
-BOB$ tmux -S $tm/sBETH attach
Here goes Bob on Beth's session. But this way GUSER has rw permissions and
thus BOB can modify sBETH's related session
4. Then Beth tries this :
_BETH$ chmod g-w $tm/sBETH
_BETH$ ls -l $tm
_total 0
_srw-r----- 1 BETH GUSERS 0 Mar 28 22:32 sBETH
So the rest of GUSER can only read from sBETH
5. Well, unfortunately it goes further as, when Bob tries to attach to the
session here is what he gets :
_BOB$ ls -l $tm
_total 0
_srw-r----- 1 BETH GUSERS 0 Mar 28 22:32 sBETH
-BOB$ tmux -S $tm/sBETH attach
server not found: Permission denied
So, Bob cannot even access Beth's session in a read only way...
Is there a way to do it without resorting to VPS which still leaves sessions rw?
If not can i make a request for its implementation?
And i understand that this way Bob has no way to tell tmux that he wants to
detach... nevermind,
this is read-only so he just kills his connection (^Z then kill -9 %1 or
something).
of course a proper way to still interact with tmux till the end would be much
appreciated.
FYI this case is the common one when doing presentations, showing things to
students or friends.
thank you

PS: please, as I'm new here, if this was'nt the right place to present my case,
could
you be so kind as to show me the way to proceed the correctly. Thanks in
advance.
