WHeeeeee! Triggered Fail2Ban on one of my servers. That would explain some things.

And while I"m doing stupid shit ... you can't (say) login, run tmux, ssh from a window in tmux, and then run tmux on the second server. The first login intercepts the meta-key.

I'm like zero for three today.

Run tmux one time & screen the second time?

@doctorwhom That is technically feasible but I haven't used screen since byobu came out. Then I switched from byobu to tmux (though I set meta key to be Ctrl+A because muscle memory) because my distro doesn't have byobu in the repos and I'm too lazy to compile a tool I use 50x/day.

I have users that complain when screen is not installed.

@doctorwhom I couldn't live without screen (byobu/tmux) and mosh. I'd go fucking insane logging in to everything a bazillion times a day and bringing up my work.

I'm saying I have byobu/tmux installed. No, they want screen.

@doctorwhom Users. Always wanting something.

vi /etc/skel/.tmux.conf
<Put this in ...>

unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-a
bind C-a send-prefix
bind-key "a"

<save>

cd /usr/bin
ln -s tmux screen

They'll never know the difference. Problem fucking solved.

@doctorwhom WHen I switched from byoby to tmux I actually sat down for like three hours and forced myelf to actually learn it ... and created a nice .tmux.conf

My tmux is very pretty ...

ANd I have a script that launches my whole environment depending on what machine I'm on (reads hostname and builds my environment for how I get around that machine.

I remember going from VMS to Unix. Seems familiar.
