just to connect to the lan and use some services, i cannot use pptp because the other side has just a micro-linux.

Did you already look at http://wiki.contribs.org/SSH_Public-Private_Keys ?

Using that Howto, you would create key pairs for normal users rather than the root user.
Also edit /etc/sudoers to specify/limit/control what those users can do
eg
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/how-to-make-a-user-a-sudoer-636926/

Also look up the use of the command
sudo

You should also look at this contrib, which adds a server manager panel to help control user access

yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs --enablerepo=sme7contribs smeserver-remoteuseraccess
