limit max child per user or IP

[Bron Gondwana]

No idea with perdition either.

There is support directly in Cyrus though, at least new cyrus:

{ "maxlogins_per_host", 0, INT }
/* Maximum number of logged in sessions allowed per host,
   zero means no limit */

{ "maxlogins_per_user", 0, INT }
/* Maximum number of logged in sessions allowed per user,
   zero means no limit */

Bron.
