Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 6.1.10
Severity: normal

When I am in a terminal where I set mesg n, the write command refuses to
work (except if I am root). Getting the warning that I have write
permission turned off on this particular terminal is ok, but write should
not refuse to work. It is simply a matter of removing the exit command
around line 125. It was fixed in openbsd a very long time ago, although
it seems like freebsd still gives an error (and actually even gives it
for root now).
