This is a sample app that extends some of what restful_authentication provides in order to lockout user accounts and prevent brute force password guessing. I wrote about it on my blog at http://danengle.us/2009/03/adding-some-additional-security-measures-to-restful_authentication/ It still needs a couple more features to polish it off like... - Ban users by IP after multiple account lockouts - Allow users to reset password if they lock themselves out - Integrate into restful_authentication so you can pass a --lockout option and have this code generated automatically
