FW: server port and shutdown

2004-08-19 Thread Diego, Emil
You could just install a firewall, like firestarter and then block that port so nobody 
can connect to it.

Hi,
There's no way to turn this off, it's a basic and essential Tomcat function.  You can 
change the port and SHUTDOWN command itself to something your users wouldn't know.

Subject: server port and shutdown

Hi,

I have searched through the archives and the docs for this, but can't 
find anything relevant.

I am running Tomcat 4.1.30 on a multiuser system. Because there are 
quite a few users on the system I would like to disable the server 
shutdown port, as it is trivial for any of the other users to telnet 
there and type SHUTDOWN.

I tried just leaving the port and shutdown attributes out of the Server 
definition element, but that didn't seem to have any effect, it seemed 
to just listen on the default port 8005 for the default command
SHUTDOWN
as usual.

Surely there is some way to turn this off, or maybe some other to 
protect it from malicious users?

Regards,

Mats

That, and promise pain and suffering to any of your users you catch
doing this. 

Sometimes a technical issue requires a policy solution. =)

That's completely true almost every security issue nowadays involves 
someone doing (or not doing) *regularly* what (s)he isn't (or is) 
supossed to do, due to lack of policy on that matter.
