Installing SCREEN

Hello,
I tried installing Screen from that I downloaded off of sunfreeware.com. But I can't get it to work.
When I attempt to run it I receive:

# screen
You are not the owner of /tmp/uscreens/S-root.
#


The owner of that is bin. Permissions are 777. I installed it as root. Any ideas?

The following packages are available:

1 SMCscreen screen

(sparc) 4.0.2



Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process

all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: all



Processing package instance <SMCscreen> from </usr/screen/screen-4.0.2-sol8-sparc-local>



screen

(sparc) 4.0.2

Oliver Laumann

Using </usr/local> as the package base directory.

## Processing package information.

## Processing system information.

7 package pathnames are already properly installed.

## Verifying disk space requirements.

## Checking for conflicts with packages already installed.

## Checking for setuid/setgid programs.



The following files are being installed with setuid and/or setgid

permissions:

/usr/local/bin/screen-4.0.2 <setuid bin>



Do you want to install these as setuid/setgid files [y,n,?,q] n


Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCscreen> [y,n,?] y

cd /usr/local/bin
chown root:bla screen-4.0.2
chmod 4750 screen-4.0.2 sets owner sticky
Bla is group you want to run screen. Set other for all.

It should worky
