View source for Protect Console Screen Session

==WHY==
Because I often keep my IM ( finch ) in a screen session. I don't want the other users which I give root access ( via sudo for example ) to be able to attach to my session.

==HOW==

1. Generate a password
<source lang="bash">
htpasswd -n doesntmatterwhatyouwritehere
</source>
Enter your password twice and copy the part after : in the output

2. Put that encrypted password in .screenrc like this
<source lang="bash">
password 3ncr1pt3dpassw0rdh3r3
</source>

3. Other recommended settings in .screenrc
<source lang="bash">
caption always '%c:%s'
password 3ncr1pt3dpassw0rdh3r3
addacl youruserhere
hardstatus on
startup_message off
vbell off
autodetach on
</source>
