I believe current versions of screen use /run/screen, which is a more reasonable location. Using a per-user directory would be even better, although I think screen intentionally supports shared screens between users (which is a somewhat terrifying feature from a security standpoint, but that's a different argument). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
