Hello,

For some reason, screen and "screen -ls" takes an exorbitant amount of time.

I am trying to run screen on a network server running RHEL 5.7.  I'm logging on 
with my LDAP account. The screen version is 4.00.03.

Just a thought, does screen attempt to go out to the network at all? (Please 
pardon my lack of understanding)

Eventually, screen does load but I shouldn't have to wait a couple minutes each 
time right?

Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kitty
