[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install gnu screen and launch it


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

[virt@localhost ~]$ screen 
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/3' - please check.

[virt@localhost ~]$ ls -l /dev/pts/3                                            
crw--w----. 1 shellinabox tty 136, 3 Dec 23 05:33 /dev/pts/3

So the issue is that the pty is owned by shellinabox and the login user
is different from it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Centos 6.5
