RT 6.0a: write

daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (Henry Mensch)

Date: Tue, 15 Mar 88 02:59:45 EST
From: henry@GARP.MIT.EDU (Henry Mensch)
To: rt-testers@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
Cc: bugs@ATHENA.MIT.EDU

seems incurably hosed:

65 garp /users/henry --> /bin/write henry@garp
66 garp /users/henry --> /bin/write henry
write: henry logged in more than once ... writing to ttyp0
foo
bar
baz
67 garp /users/henry --> 

The first write didn't work at all; it exited with status 0, but
produced no output on any of the three pty's I'm logged in on.  If all
is as I think it is, we've slipped "back" to the 4.3 write, which
doesn't have the capability to handle "write user@host" properly.  The
second write did the expected thing, but is almost useless in our
environment.  

This is also the case in 5.5T VX, 5.5T RT.
