Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-14
Severity: normal

Hi,

Currently screen refuses to start for users with username longer than
20 characters. This limit is quite arbitrary, considering that
LOGIN_NAME_MAX variable which imposes the system limit on the length
of username is set to 256 in Debian (/usr/include/bits/local_lim.h).
It would be great if this unnecessary restriction could be lifted.

Best regards,
