I know I'm extremely late in answering this however in most systems you can define a file /etc/limits that is readable by root only and use the format: username limits where limits is a limit code followed with no space by the number of that limit. For example to allow only 1 login session for rgallegos the line would read rgallegos L1 I got this information off the shadow README.limits file is /usr/doc. I'm running slackware so this might differ in other distros.
