I've got a Turbo Color Station (running 3.0) that has an odd problem.  I 
haven't quite got the circumstances figured out, but when some people 
login to the console their ttys (using Terminal.app) are set to the
wheel group instead of tty.  This makes it impossible to use "write" to
that person.  Remote logins are fine (there ttys are owned by "tty").  
I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found a way to fix 
it or has any suggestions?

Is the souce code for login available anywhere?  I'd assume that is the
program at fault.
