[GLLUG] Screen as a login shell

I'd have to see your passwd entry, but I doubt it'd work.
First because screen by itself because it's not a shell.
Second, even if you ran it with bash as a parameter, what 
would you escape back to when you did the CTRL-A+D  ?

If I want to turn my current shell into a screen shell, I run
  screen bash --login
Then I can escape back to my primary shell and logoff, 
while leaving my screen shell running (and reconnect later).
