Is it possible to run root tasks remotely using vnc?

[FedoraCowboy]

I have a headless ppc G3 running core 6 on the network in my shop that I am using as a simple file server. It's on my production network, so it's disconected from the outside world (no network access outside the LAN), so I'm not worried about security. My problem is I am unable to perform any tasks that require root access on this machine while connected through VNC.

I'd prefer to keep this box headless, but I need to have root level access to it- can it be done?

If it can't be done using VNC can anyone suggest another solution?

Thanks!

Certainly doable using a user session and then opening a terminal and typing "su -".

I have not tried to actually set up a root vnc session but I'd guess it's possible.

open another session to that headless box with ssh, that might do the trick...
