[screen-devel] [screen is terminating] version screen-4.0.3-16.el6.x86_64

[Kumar, Amit]

Dear Screen,

 

[screen is terminating] for both Root and regular user …

 

Running into this strange problem on a handful of systems. It works great on some of our other systems with the same version of OS etc.,. I have googled enough with various suggestions and solutions to this problem but none has worked for me. And I am ready to pull all hairs out….

Hope I can find some peach with this oddity.

 

RHEL6 OS

# screen -v

Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06

 

I have made sure my fstab has this line:

devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0

$ getent group 5

tty:x:5:

 

$ ls -ld /var/run/screen

drwxrwxr-x. 3 root screen 4096 Jun  8 11:20 /var/run/screen

$ getfacl /var/run/screen

getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names

# file: var/run/screen

# owner: root

# group: screen

user::rwx

group::rwx

other::r-x

 

 

$ ls -ld /usr/bin/screen

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root screen 387488 May 20  2011 /usr/bin/screen

$ getent group screen

screen:x:84:

 

Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Amit
