BBwin Security role?

[Mario Andre Panza]

Hi guys,

I was looking at the bbwin command line tool bbwincmd.exe help page and
something really get me worried.
There we have :

*Sending a drop
bbwincmd.exe <bbdisplay>[:<port>] drop <hostname> [<testname>]
Sending a hostname rename
bbwincmd.exe <bbdisplay>[:<port>] rename <hostname> <newhostname>
Sending a test rename
bbwincmd.exe <bbdisplay>[:<port>] rename <hostname> <oldtestname>
<newtestname
Sending a download message. default download path is the filename requested
it
bbwincmd.exe <bbdisplay>[:<port>] download <hostname> <filename> [<path>]

*I've tried from an agent to drop a test and thanks God doesn't work. I've
tried from a linux xymon-client and thanks God again didin't work too.
I don't know why this is in the documentation , but my question is why this
kind of administration commands are available at the agents?
In my opinion this is not a good idea.
If one day this kind of thing work, how we can avoid the server to execute
this? Is there something in the configuration?


Regards,

Mario.
