Why is this not a very near solution. It would be very simple in the 
/etc/profile to check the wtmp file via the last command.  Something 
similar to ...

         LOGINS=$(last | grep $USER | wc -l)
           if [[ $LOGINS >= $MAX_LOGINS ]]
           then
                 kill -9 <mypid>
           fi

You might want to output a message, and possibly log and also limit this to 
specific users (i.e. not root and you)

Sounds pretty clean to me.
