[K12OSN] Fltk Teacher Tool and ldap

I work remotely login through vnc with my account and I would like to
run yumex without enabling gdm to allow remote root login.  I realize I
can do this from ssh.  I just want to do run yum with the gui.

Thanks
-Glenn

Why would you need to run yum via sudo?  Teachers and other non-root
users should not be 
running yum, it's too dangerous.  You _should_ be root when you run yum
or yumex.
