%% Security Audit Functionality

%%
%% The gen_server code.
%%
%% A gen_server is needed in this module to take care of shared access to the
%% data file used to store failed and successful authentications aswell as 
%% user blocks.
%%
%% The storage model is a write-through model with both an ets and a dets 
%% table. Writes are done to both the ets and then the dets table, but reads 
%% are only done from the ets table.
%%
%% This approach also enables parallelism when using dets by returning the 
%% same dets table identifier when opening several files with the same 
%% physical location.
%%
%% NOTE: This could be implemented using a single dets table, as it is 
%%       possible to open a dets file with the ram_file flag, but this 
%%       would require periodical sync's to disk, and it would be hard 
%%       to decide when such an operation should occur.
