disabling the SQLAgentCmdExec account

Is it ok to disable the SQLAgentCmdExec account' would the sql service
run nonetheless' I'm looking for better ways of securing this
account... I already changed the password to a strong one.
ThanksIn SQL2K I think the SQLAgentCmdExec account is used for both xp_cmdshell an
d
the global proxy account in Agent. You could disable this and the service
should still run but you might get errors when using xp_cmdshell or executin
g
a command exec job when your not a sysadmin.
