I can't start "screen" as non-root, because /var/run/screen does not exist. In fact, the standard Debian/Hurd start-up sequence wipes that directory away on every re-boot. I wonder whether that's the Right Thing. For reference, FHS 5.10 says about /var/run: This directory contains system information data describing the system since it was booted. *Files* under this directory should be cleared (removed or truncated as appropriate) at the beginning of the boot process. (emphasis mine) So do people think that /libexec/rc is right in cleaning files and directories from there? On Debian/Linux exempts directories (and ... ugh ... innd.pid). If this is considered correct, screen must get an init script that will create the directory on bootup. -- Robbe
