Errors installing Screen 4.0.2
I tried to install and use Screen4.0.2 for SunOS 5.8.

WHen I go to execute screen it tries to start it, but shows a quick error:
ttyn: Permission denied.
and then...
Sorry, could not find a PTY.

Does anyone know what I might have done wrong? How can I get screen to work?

Thanks in advance!

The problem is the SUID bit on the binary file:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 bin bin 1542932 May 14 2004 /usr/local/bin/screen-4.0.2
change it to 755 with chmod like this:
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/screen-4.0.2

br,
melak
