    User Account Locking

    I'm just getting to the end of creating a f/end - b/end database,
    which has all the security settings that the FAQ (and postings in this
    group!) suggest...

    Just one query, is it possible to lock a User account after they have
    entered the incorrect password X times?

    I can't think of a way to do this, as the actual code execution within
    the database doesn't start until successful login. Surely this
    provides an opening for unauthorised entry to the database, using a
    brute force method?
