[wpkg-users] Question about system account

Hey guys,
First off I'd like to say that WPKG is pretty nice and helps us solve a bunch of issues. I've recently been trying to get more advanced with my configuration, and put it into production with all clients, instead of IT just using it to rebuild or reconfigure machines. I have a couple questions:

With regards to the SYSTEM account, I'm not certain about how windows handles system account privileges, but it seems like to me that using the non-passworded  SYSTEM account could be a security breech. I was told it isn't and I assume you guys wouldn't set the default to something that would have issues, but if someone could enlighten me, I'd appreciate it :)

Also, I read somewhere in this email group that one of the new versions allows WPKG to run upon shutdown instead of startup, is it version 1.3.5 and when will that be considered "stable". And are you guys planning to support the web interface? Which by the way looks nice but I haven't gotten into yet. Thanks for any help.

Brian
