see rhosts(5) for the .rhosts question...

For ppp ye need to set allow user user1 user2 user3 in ppp.conf to allow
people to use ppp.

Also, use adduser(8) for adding new users and during adduser it asks to
invite the new user into any existing groups, there you can add them to
network and such...

HTH,
