RE: Block one user from logging into the router.

This will do it.

Router(config)#line vty 0
Router(config-line)#login
Router(config-line)#password cisco (or however you set authentication)

Router(config-line)#line vty 1 4 (you generally don't need this; on by
default)
Router(config-line)#no password

The Login IOS command requires that authentication on the vty line. If you
set all VTY to require login and set authentication on only the lowest one,
only one line can be used. Hence only one user can connect.

Make sense?
