I use screen all the time in conjunction with BitchX on Fedora 17 without any issues. However I did notice when also trying the /detach function I was getting some weird errors: Error creating IPC socket. [dan@Fedora17 ~]$ /pts/0. To re-attach type scr-bx error creating socket (-2: Address family not supported by protocol) Screen itself works fine with BitchX but this is a detach function that is built in to the program that has worked for years. I will try disabling SELinux and see if that makes a difference. Either way, could you provide some insight to this, Michal?

Sounds like a permissions problem somewhere (pty access?). What about selinux? Did you try to check what audit has to say?
