I do not believe so.  IPFW checks for IP packets, not login  
credentials.  This is something you would have to do within Samba  
itself, if the capability is there.

What you could do is traffic shaping with IPFW.  Simply limit the  
amount of bandwidth a person uses based on IP address, then it  
doesn't really matter how many time they log in.

My $.02.
