wall != rwall

Disabling the rwalld daemon will stop remote hosts from sending any messages at all to the local host. However the wall command does not use the rwalld daemon.

       packets to a remote system.  Do this by changing the entries in the file.  For further information, see The daemon uses an  internet  data-
       gram socket to log information across systems.

       Parameters  related  to	such as the desired location for the errorlog file or files, as well as instructions for local and remote logging,
