interesing, but only /usr/bin/write from the spell seems to be owned by tty
here (wall isn't even though the Makefile suggests something to that effect).

misc-utils/Makefile:
ifeq "$(USE_TTY_GROUP)" "yes"
chgrp tty $(USRBINDIR)/write

MCONFIG:
# If USE_TTY_GROUP is set to "yes", then wall and write will be installed
# setgid to the "tty" group, and mesg will only set the group write bit.
# Note that this is only useful if login/xterm/etc. change the group of the
# user's tty to "tty" [The login in util-linux does this correctly, and
# xterm will do it correctly if X is compiled with USE_TTY_GROUP set
# properly.]
USE_TTY_GROUP=yes


My question is, do we need really a tty group or should we just modify that
one
file?
