Problem with tty permissions (mesg won't work)

[Tom Armistead]

We are having problems with tty permissions (AIX 3.1.? on a model 530).

The tty command gives a device name with a '/0' on the end of it
(i.e. /dev/tty34/0).  This device is owned by root and does not have group or
world write priv's, but /dev/tty34 does?

'mesg y' gives an error about insufficient priv's on the tty device.

Any ideas or hints?

Thanks,
Tom
