This is a roll-yer-own job.
Here's some pseudo-code ideas.
in their .bash_profile, or in /etc/profile if it's for everybody
finger |grep `whoami` |wc -l
if the results of this are higher than n, where n is your limit,
then exit
if the results of this are lower or equal to n,
then continue along. (do nothing)
