I'm not really sure why you think it'd be a good idea for such a thing to operate as an unprivileged user that gets around its lack of privilege by storing copies of everyone else's passwords. I can think of several reasonable ways to design the privilege handling for a cron-like facility, but giving it cleartext copies of everyone's passwords is not one of them. regards, tom lane
