Having an administrative interface open to the public is always a liability,
but outside of that I am just uncomfortable with having a Java interface
running in Websphere that has access to so many system functions. Call me
paranoid I guess. I have zero cases that I can tell you about where it has
been a problem, but then again maybe that is because I really only use it to
admin DCM and then I shut it off again right away :-)

In the end I don't even know how much of Java and Websphere are used in the
*ADMIN process, so my hesitations are really unfounded (just wanted to clear
the air :-)

wow. Am I reading you right? Using the *ADMIN server is a bad
thing?!?! It has security flaws? IBM is putting out a product that is
dangerous to use?
