AFFECTS: users of sysutils/screen
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
As of sysutils/screen-4.9.0_3, the multiuser feature is not supported
by default. The multiuser feature requires setuid root to function.
This creates a security risk. Some Linux distributions have had
non-setuuid root screen for a dozen or more years. FreeBSD is following
suit. A new MULTIUSER option has been added to enable users to install
setuid root screen. The MULTIUSER option default is OFF.
Users who wish to use the multiuser feature may,
- Build screen using the MULTIUSER option, or
- Poudriere users can use poudriere-options to enable the MULTIUSER
option, or
- Users can chmod the setuid bit for ${LOCALBASE}/bin/screen-4.9.0,
making screen setuid root to enable the multiuser feature.
