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

["Aaron Bartell" <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

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 :-)
