Public bug reported: Binary package hint: screen
GNU screen only accept login names with less than 21 characters. This is a problem with Ubuntu 10.04 cause if you're using likewise-open as authenticating method it defaults (and it cannot be changed, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/likewise-open/+bug/534629 ) to DOMAIN\loginname as login name. So it's quite likely that your login name exceeds the 20 chars limit There is already a bug upstream http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?21653 but no answer til now (it's from 2007). There is already a very simple patch which solves the problem http://www.mail-archive.com/screen-de...@gnu.org/msg00186.html which got unresponded as well. Please, can you apply this patch in Ubuntu's build of screen?
