Synopsis: `talk' forbids talking from write-protected terminal for no good reason State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: markm State-Changed-When: Sat Feb 24 06:02:30 PST 1996 State-Changed-Why: This feature was specifically added. if users have a reason to overide it, there are ways, like make the talk(1) request followed by a mesg n. It is too easy for newbies to bug folk without this. Picture the scene ; newbie goes talk foo@bar.baz, and changes to alternate screen to await the answer beep. He has mesg n set so this will never happen. This irritates the daylights out of the caller.
