I'm wondering if this restriction also applies to e.g. DCOM permissions?

I'm using cron to run a C# program (my own) which extracts contacts info 
from Outlook to an LDIF file, for importing into openldap.  This works 
fine on the command line, and works with cron running as myself.

With cron running as System, using setuid to myself, the Outlook COM 
object model refuses access.  ("new Outlook.ApplicationClass" throws an 
UnauthorizedAccessException.)

I'd rather avoid having to hardcode my user name and password into the 
cygrunsrv command line, so any ideas would be appreciated.


Cheers,
Rob
