cron and NT domains

Jason,

So your jt user has crontabs running?  Doesn't this seem like a security
hole?  I mean, couldn't you just concoct an /etc/passwd entry for any
domain user and then impersonate them via their crontab?  Did you give
any extra NT permissions to anyone like PALO-ALTO\JATIS or SYSTEM, for
example?  Maybe we have different types/configurations of NT domain
controllers?

The only thing that's a little bit weird about my setup is that my PC
belongs to one domain, but I log into (login to?) another.

Thanks for your help,
Dave
