--- Comment #2 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> ---
I don't remember the Toolserver having this issue. This doesn't seem like a
wontfix to me. This is pretty awful behavior currently. Surely we can do
better.

local-dbreps@tools-login:~$ screen
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/50' - please check.

I kept getting this. I checked <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Screen> to
no avail. On IRC, I was told (by a bot, no less) that running "script
/dev/null" is a workaround. It seems Roan found another workaround.

At a minimum, this needs to be documented (which I'll do momentarily) and the
error message could be hacked to be clearer what the hell is happening ("check
/dev/pts/50" is pretty much an online equivalent of "go fuck yourself").
Re-opening this for further thought and consideration.
