	"On most BSD-derivative systems no user other than the owner
	has access to your tty, nor can you modify your own."

On most BSD-derivative systems, you can modify access to your own tty
with a command such as:

	chmod a+w `tty`

which will give everyone write access to your tty, until you log out.
