Description Chris Jones 2006-10-10 19:11:25 UTC
Description of problem:
When you start a new screen, it seems to write a random ip to /var/log/wtmp,
this is daft and scares you when you happen to check last.

For example, the below is the output from last with one ssh session, with 5
nested screens.

$ last -dia rollercow | head
rollerco pts/43       Tue Oct 10 19:59   still logged in    186.148.14.0
rollerco pts/41       Tue Oct 10 19:59   still logged in    210.241.2.0
rollerco pts/40       Tue Oct 10 19:59   still logged in    166.122.6.0
rollerco pts/39       Tue Oct 10 19:59   still logged in    11.32.1.0
rollerco pts/30       Tue Oct 10 19:59   still logged in    204.241.5.0
rollerco pts/15       Tue Oct 10 19:59   still logged in    82.0.222.175

How reproducible:

Please upgrade on the highest FC-5 version screen-4.0.2-13 and let me know. I
see expected results on my output.

Comment 2 Chris Jones 2007-01-12 14:57:30 UTC
Can you point me at screen screen-4.0.2-13 for FC5? I cant see it in any of the
normal places.

Comment 3 Marcela Mašláňová 2007-01-12 16:04:23 UTC
Sorry, I didn't realise that I forgot update FC-5. It will be in few days update
screen-4.0.3-1. This bug don't appear in FC-6 in same version. 
So you can try and let me know.
