I don't use tmux, I use xterms (or sometimes otherterms of a similar nature).
I just don't want you to change write in a way that would make it behave
in a disgusting way, just to make it seem nicer for tmux users.

Depends what command you run via ssh, if you just let it default to run
your login shell, you get a utmp entry, if you have it run some other
command, say xterm, (and you don't give -t) then you dpn't get a utmp
entry (unless you have xterm make it for you).
