            Bug ID: 290681
           Summary: sysutils/screen: version 5 is incompatible with
                    security.bsd.see_other_uids=0
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People

          Assignee: cy@FreeBSD.org
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(cy@FreeBSD.org)

We run our hosts with security.bsd.see_other_uids=0 and because the new screen
v5 runs as root, it cannot be started.

$ freebsd-version -urk

$ sysctl security.bsd.see_other_uids
security.bsd.see_other_uids: 0

$ screen 
Error accessing /home/dvl/.screen

$ pkg info -x screen
