Yes, the query page is a bit daunting, but since it is only used by our
computing services staff we don't have major support issues. I am,
however, looking forward to version 3.X whenever it comes out. As far as
customizations, I made the following changes:

--Branded to fit the Haas design.
--Modified the code that sends out email messages so that it uses Net::SMTP
instead of directly calling the sendmail binary.
--Modified the authentication mechanism to use samba authentication which
allows users to login with their Windows user names and passwords.

You can see a test version of it at:
