There may be a way to set it up in the system configuration... (Thoguh I don't know, it depends on your system)...

However, the following added to your system login script would probably do it (at least for bash and ksh users)..

<PRE>
users=`who | grep $LOGNAME`
trap "exit" 2 3
if [ "X$users" != "X" ] ; then
echo "You cannot login more then once, press <RETURN>"
read TMP
exit
fi

trap 2 3
</PRE>

Test it thoroughly because I have not...
