Description Toralf Förster 2010-07-07 13:28:20 UTC 
Version:           2.4.5 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

It is irritating if a local "wall foo" command puts its content to those konsole windows too where a user is ssh'ed into a remote system.


Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
a wall output should appear only within local konsoles.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.34.1
Compiler: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

Unless I've missed something, this is the expected behavior.  If you want to restrict 'wall' messages from reaching certain terminals I think you can use the 'mesg' command.

Bear in mind that Konsole, for the most part, does not understand what is going on in the terminal.  It just sends input to it and draws the response.  There is no real concept of 'local' or 'remote' Konsole windows. You just happened to be running a program called 'ssh' in one of them.

Well, you're right, it is the expected behavior (although for a very short moment I feared to halt the wrong remote system :-| )
