Great; I'm pretty particular about leaving Admin capable credentials lying 
around in plain text, even on a secure Unix server ;-)

Sounds promising; I think you've found yourself a live tester.  I'm going to 
upgrade to 1.6.0 on my production box sometime in the next week, then I'll 
definitely be trying out WMI on my dev box (against production servers), and if 
that goes well, I'll put it in production for heavier testing.  Should winkle 
out any bugs pretty quickly ;-)
