When logged:
$ system-config-users
Error executing command as another user: Not authorized
$ sudo system-config-users
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
system-config-users requires a currently running X server.

pdupre(a)192.168.14.154's password:

ssh -X root(a)192.168.14.154 system-config-users

Seriously, you need to supply more information than you've revealed thus far.
What version of Fedora are you running on the system you which to ssh to?
Can you do the most basic? "ssh root(a)192.168.14.154" ?
