For me, Fink's screen works on 10.4, but gives the uid xxx does not exist in the passwd file! error on 10.5 and 10.6. Some more information on the history of screen: Apple's screen is built from the same sources as Fink's screen. On 10.4, Apple used screen-4.0.2, and after ca 10.4.8 with a patch to bring it up to 4.0.3. On 10.5 and 10.6, they use 4.0.3 with some additional patches. Fink's package uses some of the patches that Apple introduced on 10.5 http://opensource.apple.com/source/screen/screen-11/patches/, and this was a good idea while on 10.4. The patch for screen.c, which takes care of the bug we are talking about is not (and, on 10.4, cannot and does not need to be) applied, because it uses some private header that exists only for 10.5+. After digging all this up, I think now that the right thing to do is to restrict screen's Distribution to 10.4. -- Martin -- Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev ___ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
