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"
