limit simultaneous connections per user in PPTP vpn

jay

I'm running pptpd on a Debian Lenny box and I'm just wondering whether it's possible using poptop pptpd to limit the maximum number simultaneous VPN connections per user.

eg. john smith can only make a maximum of 1 connection at a time

I've tried using maxlogins /etc/security/limits.conf, however this does not work with ppp sessions

Any suggestions would be warmly welcomed

from what i've seen people add some lines to the pptp.ifup file and make it check for processes in ps -ef

Once it finds a matching one it kills the PID of that one.
