No, but it doesn't seem too likely that a program that adjusts the system
clock would work too well running as 'nobody'.  It can also be an ntp
server, though that is turned off in the default configuration.

I looked around in the code a bit more and found a few dubious looking
sprintf's.  What else should I look for?  I already checked for 'system'
and 'execve'.
