So it should force 127.0.0.1, ok !

I think too now :) i'll double check it.

Is there a way to dump the jmx configuration in the jvm?
It happens on all the tomcat in use (a lot) and i'm quite sure I am
not mistaken the server.xml for every one of them.

One question, though, in the tomcat doc (for 6.0.x) for the
JMXRemoteListener, the configuration is :

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jmxremote.password
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jmxremote.access

while mine is 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=${CATALINA_BASE}/conf/jmxremote.password
(notice the {} ).

is it my mistake?

We don't really use nagios as is. We use check_MK, an agent installed
on the  host for which i developped a plug in to get only the
informations I want, with one connection to JMX (thus my need to
restrict to localhost).

Some ancient rules force us to disactivate the manager webapp (those
rules originated from some vulnerabilities with the manager webapp I
believe), but i'm trying to get it back with the appropriate security,
evebn if only to ease deployments :).

Thanks for the help !
