screen throws "permission denied"

Hi all,

i've got problem in running a script in background... i have written a script, and i want to run it everytime i log in, but when i log off i want the script to stay (i watch not to run two scripts at one time in the script).

so as a normal user i want to do:

$ screen my_script &

this works only when i'm on a root, but when i do it as a normal user i get:

shmat: Permission denied

i've noticed that i just can't run screen as a normal user...
so... can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?

btw. i'm on SunOS 5.9
