Hi,

would you please show me the current permissions of both /usr/bin/screen
and /var/run/screen? screen wants the access bits on its fifo directory
to be as permissive as necessary and as restrictive as possible. Deviations
in either direction will evoke that warning.

| Permission Bits    | Expected permissions |
| on /usr/bin/screen | of /var/run/screen   |
+--------------------+----------------------+
|      0755          |        0777          |
|      2755          |        0775          | <- package default
|      4755          |        0755          |
+--------------------+----------------------+
    (both owned by user root, group utmp)
