You could limit him somewhat using guest or xguest user with SELinux.

# semanage login -a -s guest_u USERNAME

guest_u allows him to ssh onto your machine and locks him down, so he
can not execute setuid apps, or use network ports.

xguest_u allows him to login via X and use http ports.

These confined users prevent a lot of access on the machine, but not
necessarily everything.
