installing vnc server on Fedora 10
Having remote desktop support on GNome does not mean that the vncserver service is available.
To install the service:
yum install vnc-server
You can then access GNOME session without having a physical console.

Fedora root UI login
Fedora 10 update GDM config to allow root login
Type your root password. Next, make a backup of /etc/pam.d/gdm, enter:
cp /etc/pam.d/gdm /root
Now open /etc/pam.d/gdm using gedit or vi text editor, enter:gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm
ORvi /etc/pam.d/gdm
Alternatively, you can do everything in a one command:su -c 'gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm'
Find line that read as follows:
auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
Remove or comment out line by prefixing #.
# auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
Save and close the file. Logout from terminal and from GUI itself. Now you should be able login as root user using GDM GUI login manager.
