      I was surprised to see that $max_logins in /lib/moodlelib.php is hardcoded to 10.

      I think it would be a nice option to add this to site policies (http://localhost/moodle/19stable/admin/settings.php?section=sitepolicies)

      I'm attaching a quick patch (created against 1.9) that implements what I'm thinking.

      Peace - Anthony
