Description Nalin Dahyabhai 2011-02-10 16:34:49 UTC 
Description of problem:
Since bug #667252, screen's socket directory has been moved to the user's home directory.  My home directory's on a filesystem that doesn't support sockets (AFS), so it now fails to start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
screen-4.1.0-0.1.20101110git066b098.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in with an AFS home directory.
2. Run "screen -DR".
  
Actual results:
bind (/afs/devel.redhat.com/users/nalin/.screen/7082.pts-2.blade): Operation not permitted

Expected results:
New screen.
Comment 1 Miroslav Lichvar 2011-02-10 17:27:03 UTC 
Socket directory moved back to /var/run/screen in screen-4.1.0-0.3.20101110git066b098.fc15.
