Blocking TTY terminal text floods ???
 
I'm having a problem. Some people think its funny to flood my screen with text while I'm on a linux box at school, but I'm getting sick of it to tell you the truth. I successfully blocked the WRITE command using "mesg n", which shuts off the ability to send/receive messages using the WRITE command. But now flooding is still possible with TALK, WALL, and ECHO (/dev/ttyxx). Can anyone help me derail these local text-based DoS attacks??? Thanks in advance...
