*** Ordinary users can kill the tomcat server? ***

["Arcadio A. Sincero Jr." <as...@arcadio.net>]

Hello list,

I noticed that even if I start tomcat as root, ordinary users can simply run
the shutdown.sh script themselves and cause it to terminate.  This can't be
right, can it?  I mean, it doesn't seem like normal users should be able to
kill system services right?  Did I do something wrong in the configuration
or is this normal behavior?  Thanks.
