Package: screen Version: 4.0.3-0.2 Severity: important
One of the most important features of screen is autodetach on HUP. That is, if one breaks one's login session, screen gracefully autodetaches instead of killing the session. This is supposed to be on by default per the screen manpage. This used to be on by default under Debian. For some reason, this is no longer the default, and hasn't been for some months. The workaround is to manually enable "autodetach on" in the per-user screenrc, or in /etc/screenrc. I'd have reported this earlier, but I thought it was random screen crashes. I've only recently realized that screen was consistently exiting when my sessions died. So I don't know when the problem began. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages screen depends on: ii base-passwd 3.5.11 Debian base system master password ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.9 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncursesw5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii passwd 1:4.0.18.1-5 change and administer password and screen recommends no packages. -- debconf information: screen/old_upgrade_prompt: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
