[mosh-users] Mosh User ID Error on Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8)

[Jordan]

Got it - the sleep wasn't working for me, but I found another solution.

I installed "reattach-to-user-namespace" and then used the following
command:
--server="reattach-to-user-namespace mosh-server"

$ whoami
jordan

BAM!

..Jordan
