Horde Auth now returns the number of minutes the account is locked or will say "permanently" if it is locked by an administrator.

Was there any reason to only raise a sparse message, Ralf? No, I was probably just a little unattentive. We could easily add the duration of the lock to the message. There are however permanent locks (for example when locked via the admin screen) , which would show up as really long locks because there is no "permanent" constant in Horde_Locks.

The error message for a locked account just states "your account has been locked" which really irritates our users because many of them fear that they are locked out forever. It would be really great if the message could use the actual value of login_block_time and e.g. the login block error could be something like "your account has been blocked for X minutes due to too many wrong login attempts". Thanks in advance Dirk
