Blacklisting client applications seems too restrictive and might not solve the attribution issue effectively.

I'm uncertain about SELinux and user process accounting; it sounds familiar, but I can't recall how it directly relates to user attribution.

I think we practiced a question where using 'sudo' was emphasized for accountability. That might be the right choice here.

I remember discussing the importance of tracking user actions, but I'm not sure if limiting root access to the console is the best way to go.
