Details:
Since commit `787eaed wire up new auth code`, Screen will always request a
password on reattaching, even when the session was detached using C-a d or
even due to a network issue.
Looking through the code, I can't see a way to configure this.
I often use Screen to work over unreliable connections, sometimes even through
something like `autossh`. Older versions of Screen would reconnect seamlessly,
but now I'm having to enter my password every 15 minutes, which gets pretty
frustrating :(
Steps to reproduce:
$ screen
[C-a D]
$ screen -R
screen used by Name <username> on hostname.
Password:
Is this a deliberate change or an accidental regression? Are there any plans
to make this configurable? Or would there be any objections to making it
configurable if I got around to writing a patch?
Thanks!
Chris
