Remembering the temporary blocks on restart, is a great idea!

There should be a little script allowing admins to list the db and
prune specific entries by giving an ip etc. In case one of our students
or researchers forgot again that his username is different on his laptop
and tried to login several times with the wrong user and got blocked :-)
This happens from time to time, and for the moment it's easy to remove
such entries from the txt file.
