Jay,

I am wondering what prevents repeated wrong password attempts on
a person's account so that they end up causing denial of service attacks?
I realize the Turing number keeps automation at bay, but there are
always the pains-in-the-rear in manual mode. Can you restrict repeated attempts
from
only certain IP addresses? IE once 3 incorrect attempts from the same
IP, for instance, maybe that IP is automatically ignored for that account for
say 24 hours? It would force the pain to reboot to get a new Ip from
his/her DHCP server, at minimum.

As a thought,

Chuck
