    Well, if you're connecting to the remote system for systems
administration, maybe that's what you want.  But remember you can "ssh
non-root-name at remotehost" to get other access, ya know...you'll have to
set up the keys differently.

    If you don't want to _be_ root, you could always "su -" once you get
there, and be anyone ya want..
