[COMP] telnetting in as root

Hoi,

i'd like to telnet in to my box and do certain root specific thins (like
apt-get upgrade for my distro). I arleady figured out that's impossible
:-) even when doing su. Now, is there a way to work around it? I dont
want to give real root access via telnet, but is there a way to let one
(1), user (me), do the 'su' thing?
