By default, all users can use PPTP. You can *disable* PPTP for a specific
user by setting the PPTPAccess property to "off" in that user's accounts
db entry:

 /sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop username PPTPAccess off

(replacing "username" with the user's username). To re-enable it,
just delete the property, or set it to "on":

 /sbin/e-smith/db accounts delprop username PPTPAccess

(or  /sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop username PPTPAccess on)

is there an easy way to see what users are currently enabled / disabled?
I assume its just a table in the mysql db, but i am afraid to poke around too much in my  (rock solid) production machine.

The db isn't mysql, it's text -- it's in /home/e-smith. You can see the
property for a user with

  /sbin/e-smith/db accounts getprop username PPTPAccess

Try running just "/sbin/e-smith/db" for usage information.
