I guess it _is_ ideological, yes.  Of course I have a firewall between wotaskd and the internet, it's just the principle—someone might have some bizarro configuration we haven't thought of, and this might bite them.

It's just that I find it funny. JavaMonitor and wotaskd don't have a password set by default, so if you install it and you forgot to set a password, someone could have fun. And JavaMonitor don't use SSL and is subject to brute force attacks. This is far worse than running a SSH server that needs a password to login. But anyway, I won't talk about this again.
