write: doesn't check for tty group
write(1) selects a wrong tty, because there is not a proper
check of tty group ownership:
$ write kzak
write: kzak is logged in more than once; writing to tty7
write: /dev/tty7: Permission denied
$ ls -la /dev/tty7
crw--w---- 1 root root 4, 7 2008-07-04 00:32 /dev/tty7
^^^^
$ ls -la /usr/bin/write
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root tty 11864 2008-04-02 16:24 /usr/bin/write
^ ^^^
We have to check for tty group owner, because we don't have
permissions to write to arbitrary tty.
Fixed version:
$ write kzak
write: kzak is logged in more than once; writing to pts/6
^^^^

$ ls -la /dev/pts/6
crw--w---- 1 kzak tty 136, 6 2008-07-07 15:35 /dev/pts/6
