When I log into my NeXT (on console), all terminal windows I call up
(via Terminal) are owned by root.tty with mode 666.  Because they are
owned by root and me, things like "biff" and "mesg" don't work.  If
I remotely log in from another machine, terminals are owned by gil.tty
with mode 620, which is as things should be.  Is there any explanation/fix
for this?

One other thing, about when I log in remotely.  When I type ^D, I get a
listing of the current directory (as if I had typed "ls<CR>").  This
happens regardless of whether or not I have ignoreeof set in that shell.
What kind of feature is this?
