Because "at" is something you should never have installed (it is the very first thing I purge, after fixing the dumb wide-open defaults we use for hosts.allow and hosts.deny). "at" has a very bad history security-wise, and I really doubt anyone is seriously maintaining and fixing that thing. Now, if someone would rewrite from scratch an "at" designed and implemented for security, that would be very cool indeed. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
