Everybody is talking about two different things....

These two both exist in Lucent RADIUS 2.0.1:

Session-Timeout = Limit the time the user spends online during a session.
Idle-Timeout = Knock the user off if idle

This is not in Lucent RADUS:
Session-*Limit* = Not ours, that is something else.

I don't know what to say other than no there isn't. I think Cistron
RADIUS supports Session-Limit, which limits multiple simultaneous logins
with the same username, but there is NOT one in Livingston RADIUS. Try
grepping through the RADIUS source and data files - nothing matches
"session-limit" with a case-insensitive search.
