Comment:
I think I have this problem:

<pre>
$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 1500000
/dev/null/utmp: Not a directory
[screen is terminating]
$ screen -ln /dev/ttyUSB0 1500000
/dev/null/utmp: Not a directory
[screen is terminating]
$ screen -l /dev/ttyUSB0 1500000
/dev/null/utmp: Not a directory
[screen is terminating]
</pre>

But nor `-l` nor `-ln` seem to have any effect on that. I may have misunderstood their intent, though.

<pre>
       -l and -ln
            turns login mode on or off (for /etc/utmp updating).  This can
            also be defined through the deflogin .screenrc command.
</pre>

My screen version is still at 4.9.0_1

My naive question is: wouldn't it make sense to compile screen without utmp support ?
