You can limit the number of users in Linux by modifying the max_num_sta value in the hostapd config file.
For example if you wanted a maximum of five users the value would be set to:
max_num_sta=5
New stations will be rejected after the station table is full. IEEE 802.11 has a limit of 2007 different association IDs so this number should not be larger than that.
