Eve-Ellen,
I hear you on the buying now rather than fighting later :)
Maybe LDAP can help with the import. Anyways, there are pretty simple
ways around that providing you can export what you have as a CSV or
you could set something up with realtime (ughh, I hate realtime but it
may be of benefit in this situation).
It would seem that setup should be pretty static, no? This is for dorms?
If you want a very clean, low profile, and simple GUI (not free though
very reasonably priced) check into Thirdlane's webmin module.
Thanks,
Steve Totaro
