    Arrow How do I limit concurrent sftp / port forwarding logins?

    I have ssh set up so my users can only access sftp and port forwarding, how can I limit the number of concurrent logins on a per user basis?

    In my sshd_config I have UsePAM set to yes and in /etc/security/limits.conf I have:

    username - maxlogins 1

    I also tried:

    username hard maxlogins 1

    Neither of these works and the users can still log in multiple times.
