Don't forget by default root is not a regular user account. Or at least it

Also, depending on what you're doing, you might consider ssh to a regular user and then escalate via sudo or pfexex instead of ssh to the root user directly.

Yes, I agree that this approach would be better. The main problem is that I intentionally have a wide-variety of systems (hope to add more) and each one behaves a little differently. I would need to create a new user account account on all the systems and add a way to accomplish the equivalent of 'sudo' on all those systems (perhaps via a suid wrapper).
