There's no way to limit acces to administrative commands

[mestia]

Is there a way to limit the access to the text admin protocol ? It looks strange to me that a client can shutdown server for example.
Why not to use a different port for the admin protocol ?
Thanks!

Totally legitimate problem. Also I think shutdown removal is something I could get behind if enough people agree to it, but I'd like to leave this as a more general issue.

To be clear... send me a patch, and ping the mailing list, and let's get shutdown removed in the next release. I think it's a stupid command to have in the admin protocol with or even without ACL.

I agree that a client should not be allowed to shutdown the server.

If you are looking for a way to mitigate the concern right now, I recommend using supervisord to start gearmand. It can auto-restart gearmand if it ever exits.

P.S. "access" is misspelled in the issue title.
