Is there a way to change system preferences - specifically vnc settings via terminal?

[Spanky Deluxe]

I'm not at home at the moment and want to connect to my home computer via vnc. Unfortunately, I forgot to check the setting to allow VNC users to control the screen so can't connect. I can, however, connect via ssh so have access to the terminal.

Any ideas?

Should be possible if you know the name of the pref file and the pref:

defaults write <name of pref file> <name of pref> <type> <value>

Like this:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YES

Great, thanks. I'm home now so can activate it anyway but that's very useful to know that you can do that for preferences.
