Do all of those users have a shell in common? For example are they all
tcsh users? Do they have features in their .profile, .login, or .cshrc
in common?

I'm a "tcsh" user, so I'd use "set verbose" in my .cshrc so that I
could see what the shell is doing, how far it's getting, etc. You can do
something similar with "bash", I think it's "set -x" in your .profile,
see the man page. Other shells support something similar. I surmise that
all of your sub-shells are exiting, and thus screen exits because it has
nothing to run. You should be able to track this down without expending
much adrenaline :-)

We need a document on "Are you ready for Linux?" :-)
