BUG: Login with no Fixed Server Role and DB Role can stop SQL Agent Service?

Hi,

We have a scenerio, where we need to create a DTS package, which is run by a
designated user. This user should have no other rights other than running
the DTS package. We created a login, with no Fixed Server Roles and no
Database Roles. This user is able to execute the package, but he is able to
stop the SQL Agent services as well, which is bad, but he cannot drop/create
tables, which is good.

Is this a SQL Server bug? Any idea anyone?

We are using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition with SP2.

Thanks
Johnathen Liew
