After looking at the docs, this was developed on Linux, and probably
performs best there. You can install it on Windows (and there are
directions on how to do that), but that means installing Ruby and
ancillary gems.

While I personally/professionally have no problem with either option
(Windows/Linux), it's not something that's going to go well in my
environment, where anything non-commercial and non-standard Windows is
frowned upon. Under different circumstances, I'd implement and test
this immediatelly.

I think the SANS solution could be much improved (usability is lacking
for those who don't like command line interactions - it would be
vastly improved if it were fronted with a web interface, and the
passwords stored in a database), but it looks like the better
alternative for $JOB at this point.
