I haven't changed anything in my personal setup for screen.  I've tried
several different passwords, including my login password, and none of
them work.

Package: screen
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: misc
Maintainer: Ian Murdock <imurdock@debian.org>
Version: 3.6.2-2
Conffiles:
 /etc/screenrc a472ae9ff0214b2aaec59f24ff80748b

I've checked the conffile, but it has nothing about a password in it.
