[JDEV] Account lockout

Hello,

If an account has been disabled temporarily or locked out (due to repeated 
login failures, say), what would be the correct error class to expect from a 
Jabber server? This would be different from an account that does not exist 
(for which the not-authorized error class seems a good fit).

Also, are there any auth modules that have some sort of account lockout 
logic built into them? Say, based on repeated login failure attempts or 
unsuccessful attempts to login to the same account from different IP 
addresses, etc?

Any pointers will be helpful.

Thanks,
Ragavan
