from the above i understand, that you have configured your eth0 for
multiple ip-s already. :-)

create normal accounts for them. as it is the same host behind all the
ip-s, they could ftp to any of these ip-s to get access to the machine.

that will be automatically done, if they have normal user accounts.

if you don't want them to telnet to you box, then set their shell to
/bin/true or /bin/date or something. note, that you have to add this
pseudo-shell to /etc/shells to allow your users to ftp.
