biff y

[E. L. Salant]

I recently switched from working on an xterm to a regular workstation and found
that I can no longer do a biff y.  (I get a message saying /dev/ttyp1: Not 
owner).  Apparently biff can only be turned on in the login window, which
was possible on the xterm, but apparently impossible on the console (since it
would have to be done from the session manager window).
	Does anyone out there have a fix to this?
Please respond to me direct.  Thanks.
