write, postwrite and wall are clearly just a first cut, analogous to
write and wall on Unix.

As to the cited problems:

a) I added ORCLOSE and the /srv file went away much too soon, perhaps
on the first close rather than the last one.  I've had trouble with
this before and haven't sorted it out.

b) Right, a file server could provide reliable identification of
users.  I played a little with Dan's writefs last night and fixed a
bug or two.  Since then, it's been okay.
