Package: hurd Version: N/A Severity: normal Hi, I found out why screen complains about /var/run/screen permissions. screen runs as root.utmp, 02755, and expects utmp as its effective group id. The following program fails: main() { printf ("%i\n", getegid(); } $ make getegid $ ./getegid 0 $ chgrp root.utmp getegid; chmod 02755 getegid $ ./getegid 0 The expected value in the last run is 43 (or whatever the gid of utmp is on your system).
