Ugh, sorry. Thanks to the 'ls -la $(tty)' command Andy Smith wrote in
another message, I understood:
'mesg n' does prevent users from writing to your terminal using e.g.
'wall', *except* if said users are either root or yourself.
So I redid the above test but using 'wall' from *another* non-root
account: 'mesg n' did prevent the messages from coming through, and
'mesg y' allowed them again.
All good. :-)
