The other issue I can think of is that a DB - specifically a SQL server of some kind - presents a single point of failure. The INI file is replicated to all DCs, maintaining performmance and reliability. This was the reason that Access was used at the client site that I referenced above.
Jens put a lot of effort into his DB UDFs, and in any other situation I'd be pushing you in that direction. They are stable and reliable, but I personally don't think that using a DB is appropriate for a login script application.
