If you talk about access from thin clients and mean the non-existing security of X11 communication over the wire, then non of the other options mentioned so far is valid either (key presses when entering the root password will be sent unencrypted over the wire).
If, instead, you talk about access from the server X11 console itself or from a regular "thick" client, then use sux. Then you can use whatever editor you like (and available on the machine, off course), graphical or not.
Sux is available as a Debian package, but possibly not currently included with Skolelinux. If not, it is a shell script, so easily distributable also without messing with multiple APT packages sources.
