Details

Currently, if you try to run `write`, it outputs an error like `write: effective gid does not match group of /dev/pts/3`. The `/usr/bin/write` binary is a setgid binary which should have group `tty`, but currently has group `root`. This is similar to [this NixOS bug](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/192777), but in this case, the binary already has setgid so the only thing that needs to be fixed is the group.
This task depends upon
