Hey all.
I have a client reporting an issue with CP lockout. When one user gets locked out, all other users get locked out. I’m assuming the lockout is based on IP address and that as all company users are seen as using the same IP address when they access the CP on the server (outside of their network), they are all locked out.
Anybody had any similar issues? This is on EE 2.5.2.

I posted this on here http://expressionengine.stackexchange.com/questions/909/cp-lockout-based-on-ip-alone/962?iemail=1#962 and the general view is that the core check_password_lockout() method needs some work, so I’ll raise in the bugs list.
