The "current" permissions of /var/run/screen would be useless, because I
have changed it manually to the correct permissions already; otherwise I
can't run screen at all, and I use it every day and I only reboot this
machine for equipment upgrades or kernel upgrades.

The current permissions of /usr/bin/screen is as follows:

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 303808 2007-09-26 17:57 /usr/bin/screen
