It's a problem with the combination of I and Y-lines.  In the
Y-lines (class) you say how much users can use that I-line.  You
need to adjust the Y-line you use for your I-line(s).  It's the 4th
field.

Maybe you're using class 0 (you didn't specify a class), in which
case it uses the value from config.h, which default to allow 1
user in class 0.
You just need to make a class in that case, and use it with your
I-line in that case.

Look at example.conf, or INSTALL for more info.
