file to Horde. Anything else that let an end user go into Horde itself
and hit a button would either need a separate config - again, shared
across a cluster - and/or would probably be brought down by the same
issue you were trying to use the button for (permissions checking, ...
etc.).

across a cluster?
With regards to a postauthenticate hook, yes that'd work. Basically I
was looking for something that could be modified from the GUI (like
alarms) so that it didn't have to be an admin who was intimately
familiar with the horde code who would have to do it. If I'm not
around when things go kablooie we need to be able to have a
straightforward way close the doors. At the moment I go into our
firewall and redirect connections to a static "we're broke" message
but that's not a particularly elegant solution.

the board. For example if the mailservers, memcache servers, or
database go down we'd like to be able to flip a switch and all logins
would be temporarily disabled until we fix the problem. It would be
also helpful to be able to set a notice message at the same time which
would notify users of the system problems. This would need to be
stored in the database to be able to affect all machines in the cluster.
