when you create a user, DON'T tick the 'Host Administrator' or 'System
Administrator' boxes.
This disables 'creating new users' and 'Alias administration'

Just set these up in your alias administrator. The customer can't change
these as per above answer (1)

Create an alias called 'nobody' and direct it's output to the desired REAL
user.
The nobody alias is special, and catches everything which is not
specifically addressed. Officially this is called a 'catch all' but it
should be called a 'catch rest'.
