Fix nx attach using sudo - simplest solution - #149
Merged
Conversation
After research, sudo is the standard and simplest approach for cross-user screen access.
Changes:
- Re-enabled sudoers configuration during install
- Client uses sudo -u nexus screen -r {session}
- Removed multiuser/ACL config from screenrc (not needed)
- Auto-configured passwordless sudo in /etc/sudoers.d/nexus_attach
Result: Simple, standard, works everywhere. Requires reinstall for sudoers setup.
