            Bug ID: 201717
           Summary: screen port example screenrc contains incorrect
                    command
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org

sysutils/screen/files/screenrc.sample, which gets installed in /usr/local/etc
includes the following (last) line:

logfile flush

The logfile directive in screen has two forms, one which takes a filename
argument (the file name to log to when ^aH logging is turned on), and one which
takes a secondary keyword flush and a time in seconds of how often to flush.

By including flush without the secondary argument, the sample rc file sets the
logfile name for all screens to $HOME/flush (lacking a '%n' in the argument, it
won't create separate files for each screen either).

This is probably not what was intended.
