I really wouldn't do that.  If you have to get external root access, use ssh,
but if you haven't been broken into yourself, it's FAR more likely that you just
haven't seen it, than it hasn't happened.  You don't want to allow folks into
your machine, there isn't any such thing as honor among those folks.
