The new TTY code, which I'll commit next week, adds a new rlimit to the kernel called RLIMIT_NPTS. This rlimit allows you to limit the number of pseudo-terminals allocated by a single user. This means you can limit the number of login sessions by tuning the "pseudoterminals" field in /etc/login.conf. This seems to work with tools like screen(1), xterm(1), etc. Unfortunately I didn't get it working with OpenSSH, because OpenSSH allocates terminals while been root. I've already contacted the OpenSSH folks about this, but I haven't got any response (yet). -- Ed Schouten <ed_at_80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/
