Lockout prevents blocked users from logging in. Should the user be logged in already, their session will be terminated. This is useful mostly for private/restricted wikis using $wgWhitelistRead, Lockdown or similar to restrict read access to at least some pages.

Note: When using this with a public wiki, the effect of logging out blocked users may actually be avers: unless the user's address is also blocked (e.g. auto-block), logging the user out will again allow reading and editing, just as for anonymous visitors.
