One feature that I've been waiting for a long time to see in Hudson is project-level security. To be able to say that certain projects can only be built by certain users. This comes in very handy if certain builds jobs should only be executed by certain people, for security or auditing purposes, for example. A release into QA (or even production) might come under this category.

Hudson is a great little Continuous Integration server. One of Kosuke's more recent innovations has been to add a feature that lets you install Hudson as a service on Windows. A very useful feature indeed, as previously this was a fairly non-trivial operation. But what if you're running Hudson on a Linux server? In this article, we look at a few options you might consider if you need to install Hudson on a Redhat box.

I don't usually recommend using Windows for your build server, but sometimes you may not have a choice. You may be running Microsoft tools as an integral part of your build lifecycle, for example, or be constrained to use the local company standards. This article tells you how it can be done.
