Description Charles R. Anderson 2025-06-28 16:20:27 UTC
screen-5.0.1-2 is storing sockets in $HOME/.screen rather than /run/screen/.  This is undesirable, since $HOME could be an NFS filesystem.  It seems that since screen 5.0, the default configure option changed, and now --enable-socket-dir must be passed to configure for it to observe the --with-socket-dir option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. screen
2. find $HOME/.screen
3. find /run/screen
Actual Results:
>find $HOME/.screen
/home/cra/.screen
/home/cra/.screen/9898.pts-2.x

>find /run/screen/
/run/screen/

Expected Results:
>find $HOME/.screen
/home/cra/.screen

or

>find $HOME/.screen
find: ‘/home/cra/.screen’: No such file or directory

>find /run/screen
/run/screen
/run/screen/S-cra
/run/screen/S-cra/7959.pts-0.hostname

Additional Information:
This fixes the issue:

        --with-sys-screenrc="%{_sysconfdir}/screenrc" \
-       --with-socket-dir="%{_rundir}/screen"
+       --with-socket-dir="%{_rundir}/screen" \
+       --enable-socket-dir
