we're looking to secure access to the core jboss mbeans (and possibly other 
aspects of the system).  specifically, we want to prevent "rogue" access to 
shutting down the jboss server instance.  i believe in the default 
configuration, once a server has been started, that any user on the network, 
can issue the shutdown command to the server via the remote mbean interfaces 
with code such as:


  |     ctx = new InitialContext();
  |                     
  |     MBeanServerConnection server = (MBeanServerConnection) 
ctx.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor");
  |     String [] outval = null;
  |     server.invoke(new ObjectName("jboss.system:type=Server"), "shutdown", 
new Object[0], outval);   
  | 

where the jndi.properties file gets an ic from the remote host.

so, 1, is there a way to secure the remote mbean access?  (by default on SuSE 
linux, it appeared fairly secure as they seem to use 127.0.0.2 for the loopback 
device which caused trouble issuing the shutdown, is this secure enough?)
and 2, can i just turn off remote access to the jndi access and only allow that 
to communicate on the localhost?

any thoughts/help would be most appreciated.  we've seen instances in the jboss 
logs where the server would just go down cleanly, and we can't see where the 
shutdown command originated from.  we'd like to rule out the possibility of 
someone blindly shutting down the servers.

thanks!
