This does not looks like something specific to OpenVZ. Still, let me guess.
"tty device" here is not /dev/tty, but either /dev/ttyp* and /dev/ptyp*, or some entry under /dev/pts.
"mesg" is a program to enable/disable receiving messages from other users. It is probably called from one of user's login scripts (/etc/bashrc, /etc/bash_login, /etc/profile or something like that, or their ~/. analogs). This programs is _possibly_ SGID to group tty (run 'ls -l $(which mesg)' to check that), and tries to change the mode of one or several above mentioned files. Since files doesn't belong to group tty, mesg complains.
This problem is most probably the problem of a given distribution. Regards, Kir. José David Bravo Álvarez wrote:
