Yes, but remote commands are executed as whatever user is running the
remote command, which is NOT necessarily the same as root.  You can open
up the permissions of the asterisk.ctl pipe file to allow another group to
connect.

That, however, still leaves the indirect method of executing commands, which
are still executed by the Asterisk process itself.
