Is there a module that will work with AuthDBI to help lock a user out
after 3 bad attempts

I need a way to flush the cache that is held by AuthDBI.  Has anybody
done this?  And how?

 

Thanks

Not that I know of.  It is a harder problem than it might appear to
be.  Since HTTP is stateless, you'd need to write to a database on
each failed authentication attempt, and then figure out some way to
keep the database fresh.
