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).

Thanks,
Marcus
