I would recommend that you change the root password and make sure that they don't have sudo rights except for specific actions (make sure they can't escape to a shell with sudo too). Make sure all changes are controlled and then you have more of a chance.
If they can do things, then they can do them incorrectly or incompletely.
Another great one is for mounting a new filesystem, but getting it in the wrong sequence in /etc/fstab You either mount it and then over-mount it, or the mount fails.
I hadn't considered static routes. I try to avoid them if at all possible.

-c Create and/or initialize afppasswd file or specific user.
-f Force the current action.
-p path

-n If cracklib support is built into netatalk this option will cause cracklib checking to be disabled, if the superuser does not want
to have the password run against the cracklib dictionary.
