Limit number of connections per user?

[Goran Hasse]

Why do you want to do this! This is totaly against all
praxis in a Unix environment! Users will bee VERY anyoyed. If they log in from
home and then go to some other place and try to login and the server
says "rejected"
they will just get mad. (In my opinion). And mostly because they don't
understand
the logic in this. A unix is a multiuser, mutli session environment.
Scrap this idea!
