What's abhorrent about it? (And is it a general distaste for admin tools,
or specific to the IdP?)
My take is that there are good admin tools and bad ones. (We don't want
to use a bad one :-).)

I'm in touch with Duke off and on -- and it seems to be back on as of next
week (after being off for a while). (Yay!) I'm hoping to talk to them
about admin tools. I'll report back if that's OK'd by them.

Could you send me the script?
Thanks!
