(except if you know all the gory details about biff and mesg) PR 13072 and 13073 suggest to add an option -t to specify which tty to use. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/13072 http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/13073 I intend to commit this unless I get a good reason not to.
