The issue is that "adding the user to the tty" group doesn't work when
there are 500 users.  Canonical seems determined to turn Linux into
Windows which is unfortunate since we already have one crap OS, we don't
need another.

Title:
  write says write: effective gid does not match group of /dev/pts/5

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am logged in as 'nanook', I am in the tty group:
  id
  uid=2000(nanook) gid=1000(shell) groups=1000(shell),4(adm),5(tty),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),118(lpadmin),128(sambashare),135(lxd)
  Yet when I say,
  write nanook
  I get
  write: effective gid does not match group of /dev/pts/5
  ls -l /dev/pts/5
  crw--w---- 1 nanook tty 136, 5 May  2 18:51 /dev/pts/5
  So something is wrong.  And since it seems to involve permissions there may be security issues.
