What you want to do is install webmin. This will allow you to configure a restricted user access internally in webmin that will only allow him add-remove. In addition it will provide a web/graphical interface which if you don't trust him with the root password, he's most likely very, very junior in UNIX, and will probably appreciate greatly.
