Package: screen
Version: 4.0.1-3
Severity: normal


When I ssh into my machine, the permissions on my tty are like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l $(tty)
crw--w----    1 mbp      tty      136,   7 Nov  5 11:45 /dev/pts/7

The mesg/talk commands work OK because the group is tty

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mesg y
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mesg n

When I run screen (with -c /dev/null), the new pts has a different
group ownership:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l $(tty)
crw--w----    1 mbp      utmp     136,   8 Nov  5 11:47 /dev/pts/8

mesg and talk no longer work.  

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mesg y
mesg: error: tty device is not owned by group ty'

I suppose this is something to do with screen being setgid utmp.

I am using devpts, and it ought to be setting the default gid to 5
(tty), so perhaps screen is chgrping it?  I haven't looked.

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
