SSH limit number of simultaneous logins attempts for each user
I want to configure SSH in following way: Pl. help on this.
One user (Suppose UserName is "demosshuser") can be login into One server at the same time. Once the user (Suppose UserName is "demosshuser") have login into that particular server, then the UserName (demosshuser) can't be used to login to server from any other console or by using any other SSH client, until "demosshuser" get logout.

Edit /etc/security/limits.conf and append the following to limit the max number of logins to 2 for user vivek:
Code:
vivek hard maxlogins 2 Code:
Too many logins for 'vivek'. Code:
pam_limits(sshd:session): Too many logins (max 2) for vivek
