config(5) says there is no such limit.

Linux has a pam way using limits.conf. FreeBSD could use inetd to spawn 
sshd with a inetd.conf "max-child" option. I don't know of an existing 
NetBSD way for ssh logins. Ideas could be: add some PAM feature to 
record logins and honoring it; or add a "max-child" option to inetd and 
use it to spawn sshd.    But why the limit? Explain your use case and 
maybe we can provide a different solution.
