Question

I have a user trying to execute a command,in crontab, which requires certain envrionmental variables to be set. He is using tcsh on a Solaris 7 system. I have created a hack by doing the following in the crontab entry...

0 0-23 * * * rsh localhost -l user /path/command

This doesn't seem secure to me.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
