No, you can't. ...
Couldn't you potentially write a PAM module to do exactly that?  At
the top of the session stack, have it store the status of the user's
session in LDAP somewhere (or potentially in some other database, and
then on logout, remove the "Joe has an active session" flag.  Then,
upon a second or subsequent attempt at login, the PAM module could
kick the user out?  I don't know the logistics of doing so,
unfortunately; potentially Russ could give a better hand-wave
solution?
Is this enforcing a policy decision or just preventing technical problems caused by multiple logins?

I'm wondering because we us gnome on RHEL5 with AFS home directories and multiple logins on different machines haven't been an issue, but trying to login to gnome multiple times on the same machine does cause error messages.
