that I PAM'ified both for kicks quite a while ago.

<title>Improve cron(8) and atrun(8)</title>
<desc>
<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>:
<a href="mailto:yar@FreeBSD.org">Yar Tikhiy</a></p>
<p>Currently, cron(8) and atrun(8) are outdated in their implementation.
Here are some directions for improvement:</p>
<ul>
<li>Convert atrun(8) to using setusercontext(3) instead of creating
the job context through a sequence of basic syscalls.</li>
<li>Ultimately, the atrun(8) functionality could be integrated into
cron(8), as it has already been done in NetBSD.</li>
<li>Update cron(8) to ISC cron with security fixes from OpenBSD.</li>
<li>Integrate the atrun(8) functionality into cron(8),
as it was done in NetBSD.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Strong knowledge of C.</li>
<li>Understanding of PAM API.</li>
<li>Strong knowledge of the C language and Unix API.</li>
</ul>
