Answers.Body: <p>I'm not clear exactly what issue you're wanting to address here, but you might want to look at running 'cv' from cron instead of cli.php/cron.php.  That does not require a password and will not record as a login.</p>

Body: <p>Is it possible to run a cli.php without user and password if cron owner has sufficient privileges? Having added it my Joomla dashboard is over run with entries for the cron user logging in. The user I created I didn't give any special acl but it seems to work. I'm assuming due to my cron rights. Suggestions?
  Thanks
