Hello, As installed in BLFS, screen creates /var/run/screen with the wrong permissions: owned by root and with the group of the first user that happens to run screen. Please add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/createfiles in order to fix this:
/var/run/screen dir 0755 root root Also please discuss the fact that screen is a setuid binary by default. Setuid root is needed only for handling the -r sessionowner/[pid.tty.host] switch - not something that everyone wants to use. And really, setgid to some group is enough for that (but /var/run/screen should belong to that group then) - Debian uses "setgid utmp". -- Alexander E.
