OK, I must have done something stupid to screw up my system, but ever since I rebooted, I can no longer use biff, write, and other tty-based utilities under X. Here's what happens:
chinook:~> tty /dev/ttyp7 chinook:~> write maxk /dev/ttyp7 write: maxk is not logged in on ttyp7. chinook:~> w 7:11pm up 35 min, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.04, 0.00 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT maxk tty1 7:04pm 6:18 10.24s 0.04s xinit /usr/X11R Specifically, all of the xterms think they have their own ttyp's, but they don't show up in utmp and the ownership on the ttyp's doesn't get changed correctly. What's going on? Max
