Re: How do I get usable file permissions using the IBM Web Administration for i5/OS on port :2001

In this case it will be an intranet but I hear you. But I am wondering if there are some serious shortcomings with the Web Administrator as I have had other issues.
It is my belief that we need to eat our own cooking, and if we like the i5 then we'd better figure out how to make it useful in today's business climate.

But then again, I hung with OS/2 for way too long, too.

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?
