stty bug + effects

[Christopher Piggott]

   Forgive me if this is already understood, but being able to read the
terminal settings of another's terminal also means that you can set some
of those definitions for them - including the famous 'stty 0' - and force
another's terminal to do funny things to them....
   Does anybody know of any way to protect themselves against this other
than the 'mesg n' which disallows ANY writing to your device?
