+ AFFECTS: users of sysutils/screen
+ AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
+
+ As of sysutils/screen-4.9.0_5, the MULTUSER option is default, reverting
+ to the traditional setuid-root behavior. People who wish to secure their
+ screen install must terminate all screen sessions, then install screen
+ without the MULTIUSER option. The option was reversed because it caused
+ too much astonishment among users of screen.
