Package: screen

Severity: wishlist

Hi,
currently, only fullname and login are displayed when a screen is
locked, which makes it a bit difficult to figure out which password has
to be typed when you've ssh-ed to several boxes. Please find attached a
very quick and very dirty patch which did the trick. You could be using
HOST_NAME_MAX instead of 255+1, but IIRC that will trigger an FTBFS on
hurd, where you'd have to use xgethostname (by Neal Walfield) or
similar, which uses a dynamic memory allocation instead of a
macro-defined static limit (that POSIX doesn't require to exist IIRC).
Thanks for considering.
Mraw,
KiBi.
