If you wish to restrict the maximum number of login sessions for a specific user, you can do this by modifying the .profile of that user:
A=`w| grep $LOGNAME | wc -l`This example restricts the number of logins to three. Make sure the user can't modify his/her own .profile by restricting access rights.
if [ $A -ge 3 ] ; then
exit
fi
