by default the screen program should have the following permissions: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 298104 Oct 3 23:52 /usr/bin/screen in order to get who, last and other progs working properly. -- Maurizio
hiya Michael screen 3.9.13 has been out for a bit. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gnu-screen/message/1309 Here it is attached a new ebuild which I'm still working on. The screen binary already has group "utmp" and 2755 perms. Also Adam Lazur, from the debian project, adopted this solution. ( Moreover he's working on a patch to enable multiuser support without having to set screen suid root. ) Furthermore, I set a more sane value (in my opinion) for the global screenrc file (now /etc/screenrc instead of /etc/screen/screenrc) and for the socket dir directory (now /var/run/screen instead of using /tmp ). Added optional --enable-pam and --enable-rxvt_osc. I'm not absolutely sure about the addpredict/addwrite stuff. -- Maurizio aka j2ee
