Dear screen maintainers & devs,
Thanks for maintaining GNU screen!
>From ChatGPT I learnt, that in "GNU Screen 4.99 (or current dev branch), the
ability to disable passwords was removed, and there is no straightforward
configuration option to achieve this. Password authentication is now enforced
by default in GNU Screen 4.99 and later versions."
I couldn't figure out a way using the docs to disable GNU screen's password
prompt when re-attaching a detached session.
My issue and my temporary workaround is described here:
https://marcgloor.github.io/gnuscreenpatch.html
Can you confirm that the ability to disable passwords was intentionally
removed? If so, I would request this option to be re-added to the program
logic again.
Thanks
Marc
