It's quite funny you ask this question, because I've been working on
this last week.

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).
