Summary: For my purposes, it'd be *complete* with the new cron/at.  Not to
	 mention the "obligatory request for HDB"...

I've had no problems with reliability.  I *do* have a problem with the sorry
excuse for UUCP and *no* way to change it (are you listening, AT&T?  You could
at least consider *selling* *binaries*, since everyone knows you have them!).
And it'd be nice if they'd provided the new cron and left that functionality
out of the Status Manager.  WHY does /etc/smgr do cron's work?!  It means that
I can't even install the replacement cron from comp.sources.unix without
wasting cycles on two different cron programs!
