Sure you can - we do that here on 3 backup servers we run with BackupPC.
Just add their login user names to the BackupPC hosts file for the hosts
that login should have access to. For example, for the example hosts file:
host dhcp user moreUsers # <--- do not edit
this line
farside 0 craig jill,jeff # <--- example static
IP host entry
farside2 0 craig
In this case, craig, jill and jeff would have access to the computer
farside. No other users would have access to farside - nor would they even
see that it's setup on the server. For farside2, only craig would have
access - jill and jeff would not.
