Yes, but things like SSH tunnels can be used to allow a remote client to
perform a shutdown.
Of course, but you are splitting hairs here. In such a case, the remote
client is really connected to a local ssh shell, and the local ssh shell
is the process connecting to the loopback address. CQFD.
One could also connect via ssh directly, then issue a
telnet localhost 8005

I never tried this by the way. I wonder if Tomcat responds something.
Have to find an instance of Tomcat which I can shut down.
