rxvt picks up wall and write messages on my machine, Fedora Core 1. The
one difference could be that rxvt is not writing to /var/run/utmp. wall
looks there to find the logged in terminals. There is a flag (-ut), and
resource that controls this. I guess it could be a compile-time
option. It could also be installed non-suid root and not have permissions.
