I don't have all the context on this but Solaris RBAC roles *can* run
cron jobs. Roles don't have to have users assigned to them.
Roles normally have passwords and accounts that have valid passwords can
run cron jobs.
To create an account that can not login but can run cron jobs use:
passwd -N username
Examples of such accounts are sys,adm,lp,postgres
Accounts that are locked (by passwd -l username) can not run cron jobs.
Tim feel free to explain to me offline what it was you were trying to
use roles for.
