Limit login attempts!?

Hi

I wonder how to accomplish a limit login attempts feature when created all the standard security assist pages from the wizard? I have used the simple login/logout template. I have implemented the login functionallity in my start page (seperate sidebar div) and also included a logout button to redirect to the logout page in which I've included a clear all session behaviour and a redirect behaviour back to startpage. Ive included show region behaviours to startpage allowing the login box to show when users are not logged in and logout button to show when users are logged in. All this works! Ive tried a guuide from another thread to implement limited login attempts (Max logins) but I can't get it to work! I need a simple explanation how to accomplish this from where I am now according to description above!?
