Package: bsdutils
Version: 1:2.13-8
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/wall

Wall does not work with Debian's kernel 2.6.22. It used to work with 2.6.18.

| greg:~# echo test |wall
| wall: /dev/ttyp0: No such file or directory

With 2.6.22 there is no /dev/ttyp0. I assume that is because 2.6.22
does not use CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS. When running wall all I get is the
error message, nothing is sent to other terminals.
