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.
