That said, I do wish Fedora made it easier to do the remote admin for
family/friends type thing. I'm not really thinking of setting up mail
servers, but more putting together something like Copilot
(https://www.copilot.com/) from the tools we have (Vino, ssh,
Telepathy). But that's another discussion...
I think policykit introduces some really ugly issues issues here - or at
least if it works the same as in ubuntu in terms of giving unwarranted
privileges to console sessions and requiring a console session to use
the GUI admin tools if you don't log in as root. You could use VNC or
NX/freenx session shadowing with an already logged in console user
session, but that's not exactly right for administration since it might
really be an unprivileged user sitting there.
