Thanks for the information. That also makes it a non-starter for me and my clients.

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.
