Hi Thomas,

I also suspect there's something wrong with your shell...

] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .screenrc 
] shell -/bin/bash
] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ screen
] [>>>]
] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ shopt | grep login
] login_shell     on
] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps -ef f
] jcn      22124 22123  0 20:36 pts/2    Ss     0:00    \_ bash
] jcn      26878 22124  0 21:36 pts/2    S+     0:00        \_ screen
] root     26879 26878  0 21:36 ?        Ss     0:00            \_ SCREEN
] jcn      26880 26879  0 21:36 pts/4    Ss     0:00                \_ 
-/bin/bash
] jcn      26912 26880  0 21:37 pts/4    R+     0:00                    \_ ps 
-ef f

Could you double-check your configuration of bash (esp. against
the INVOCATION paragraph of bash(1) concerning the order in which
the rcfiles are searched for and read)?


Regards,

Jan
