After reviewing the man page, if you use 'screen -ln' you will NOT see the error. It's a utmp log issue. Also, the reason why this happened to me is because chflags were set to: # chflags sappnd /var/log # chflags sappnd /var/log/* (Safe to keep this permission drwxr-x--- log 'which i have mine set to') To resolve make sure to set kern_securelevel="-1" in /etc/rc.conf (mine was set to kern_securelevel="2" you can not chflags at this level) # shutdown -r now Then # chflags nosappend /var/log # chflags nosappend /var/log/* change kern_securelevel back to whatever you want it at in /etc/rc.conf #shutdown -r now "fixed"
