Authenticating locally? how's that going to happen?
you still need a password to get root xs .. or else some sort of
'prove' to give the box that you are allowed to have root ..
I think that in any other way the root passstill goes over the line..

Don't quote me on this since I'm not really an SSH guru, but I thought it used certificates?
