With AIX V3, open calls on /dev/tty?? do not behave as they do on my AIX 1.2
and my SYSV systems. Logged in on /dev/tty1, I open /dev/tty1, and it returns
"permission denied."
In fact, "write" by normal users cannot even write to me when I am logged in
on my AIX V3 system, even though I have done a "mesg -yes".
Executing "echo foo > /dev/tty1" fails. However, logged in via TCP/IP,
executing "echo foo > /dev/pts/0" works (usually).
What have I configured incorrectly?
