What do you mean by "secure" exactly?
By default, a user will only have write access to his/her home directory. Of
course the user can execute command in other places (like /usr/bin /bin, etc)
if setup correctly by root. So if each user just need to develop stuff in
his/her home directory, you already have that just by Redhat installation.
