I know this might be an obvious one, but I've been doing a workaround for sometime now, but I'd like to find out how to allow root access between servers.
Scenario:
Got a RH server and want to run an installation "from" a Solaris Machine, however the installtion files are owned by root (and the permission can't be changed) - so naturally when you attempt to read or execute these files, you get the "permission denied" message.
how can I allow root privilges for root (or any other account) from another server?
Thanks

Really don't understand your scenario. So you have a Redhat server and it is trying to execute files which are stored on a Solaris server? How are the files on the Solaris server shared to the Redhat server?
What are the files on the Solaris server? Are they binary executables? Solaris binaries will not run on a Redhat system.
You could also create a .rhosts or hosts.equiv file on on your RH server that 'trusts' access from your Solaris server. Be careful with this option though. A lot of admins don't like this because it is susceptible to IP/servename spoofing. Secure Server (SSH) methods like Wool suggests above are more secure and preferred but this is a quick and easy alternative.

ssh root@RHServer 'run your install commands here' # <-- you need to know root's password, or use public key authentication.
ssh user@RHServer 'sudo run your install commands here' # <- you need a sudo-enabled 'user' account on RHServer.
