yes, they are:

I use 3.7.4-4, I've noticed that it does not make any files in /tmp even
when I run it as root.

screen (3.7.4-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed upstream changelog name (ChangeLog.gz - changelog.gz)
  * Changed sockets from /tmp to /var/run (closes:Bug#6487)
  * New Standards-Version: 2.3.0.1
  * Changed behaviour of backspace key (now sends `DEL' == 0177)

hamm screen

1998-01-15 Thread Norbert Veber
I am having a strange problem with the hamm version of screen, it works fine
for root, but when any other user tries to run it, it just 'freezes' as in:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] screen

it just sits there for ever, not error message, nothing.

Any ideas?

3.7.4-3 still seems to do that for me, I just tried it.

  yes, they are:
  drwxrwxrwt   3 root root 4096 Jan 15 12:02 tmp
  
  I use 3.7.4-4, I've noticed that it does not make any files in /tmp even
  when I run it as root.  I remember that the bo screen used to make something
  like /tmp/screens/username..
 
 3.7.4-3 still seems to do that for me, I just tried it.

after looking into this a bit, I found that this version uses
/var/run/screens which looks like this:
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root 1024 Jan 14 20:32 screens

I tried changing the permissions to drwxrwxrwx, but running screen after
that change resulted in this error:
Directory '/var/run/screens' must have mode 755.

I also emailed this information to the package maintainer, but he hasn't
answered yet..  I might just end up downgrading to the bo version which
worked perfectly..
