when i run echo "User” > /dev/tty5 why do i get permission denied?
Because you are not allowed to do that. ;-))
Seriously: check the permissions of file "/dev/tty5" with the command
and have a look. Every file (device files are files too) carry a "r" (read), a "w" (write) and a "x" (execute) privilege for the owner, the owners group and every other user. See "man ls" for more details about this. Here is one of my systems:
As you can see the user "root" has "rw", his group (accidentally also named "root") has no rights at all and everybody else has no rights either.

I'll start off by saying that I know very little about Unix - however, I do know that I have a .profile file in my home directory, and that I should be able to invoke it by typing . profile.

logindevperm
logindevperm(4) File Formats logindevperm(4)NAME
logindevperm, fbtab - login-based device permissions
SYNOPSIS
/etc/logindevperm
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/logindevperm file contains information that is used by login(1) and ttymon(1M) to change the owner, group, and permissions of
devices upon logging into or out of a console device. By default, this file contains lines for the keyboard, mouse, audio, and frame buffer
devices.
The owner of the devices listed in /etc/logindevperm is set to the owner of the console by login(1). The group of the devices is set to the
owner's group specified in /etc/passwd. The permissions are set as specified in /etc/logindevperm.
If the console is /dev/vt/active, the owner of the devices is the first user logged in on the consoles (/dev/console or /dev/vt/#). Upon
this first user's logout the owner and group of these devices is reset by ttymon(1M) to owner root and root's group as specified in
/etc/passwd.
Fields are separated by a TAB or SPACE characters. Blank lines and comments can appear anywhere in the file; comments start with a hash-
mark, (#), and continue to the end of the line.
The first field specifies the name of a console device (for example, /dev/console). By default, it is /dev/vt/active, which points to the
current active console, including /dev/console and all virtual consoles (/dev/vt/#). The second field specifies the permissions to which
the devices in the device_list field (third field) are set. These permissions must be expressed in octal format, for example, 0774. A
device_list is a colon-separated list of device names. A device name must be a /dev link.
A directory or logical name in the device name can be either one of the following:
o A fully qualified name, for example, fbs.
o A regular expression, for example, [a-z0-9.]+. See regexp(5) for more information on regular expressions.
o The wildcard character * specifying all directory or node names (except . and .., for example, /dev/fbs/* specifies all frame
buffer devices.
Some examples of /etc/logindevperm file entries include:
/dev/usb/[0-9a-f]+[.][0-9a-f]+/[0-9]+/[a-z0-9.]+
/dev/usb/[0-9a-f]+[.][0-9a-f]+/[0-9]+/*
/dev/usb/[0-9a-f]+[.][0-9a-f]+/*/*
Specify all ugen(7D) endpoints and status nodes.
Drivers can also be specified to limit the permission changes to minor nodes owned by the specified drivers. For example,
/dev/console 0600 /dev/usb/[0-9a-f]+[.][0-9a-f]+/[0-9]+/*
driver=usb_mid,scsa2usb,usbprn # libusb devices
Due to the persistence of devfs(7FS) minor node management, the user should be logged in as root if the list of minor nodes will be reduced
and the devices should all be plugged in.
Once the devices are owned by the user, their permissions and ownership can be changed using chmod(1) and chown(1), as with any other user-
owned file.
Upon logout the owner and group of these devices are reset by ttymon(1M) to owner root and root's group as specified in /etc/passwd (typi-
cally other). The permissions are set as specified in the /etc/logindevperm file.
