The only way I see:
Add in /etc/profile : # this will disallow more than 2 connections...

NO=`who -R |grep $LOGNAME|wc -l`
if [ $NO -ge 2 ]
then
echo "2 connections maximum allowed"
exit 1
fi

# You can try and put it in the .profile of the user but then siice he is the owner, he can always remove what you insert... no easy solution...

best regards
