The useradd program should work with redhat.
A more simple procedure is to us linuxconf which comes with RH.
As for the second question, I recommend reading the network howtos, which
are contained in /usr/doc/HOWTOS (or something similar).
For restircting permissions so ceratin machines you will find a file called
host.allow or hosts.deny in /etc.
A quick man on hosts.allow should help.
