Why not add your key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys? Or maybe I misunderstand what you'd like to have happen? Oh, wait, I think I do understand. You can't use sudo because it prompts you for the user's password (which you don't know). Yeah, that sucks. Maybe there's a PAM module that needs to be written? But then, if it's not your machine (if it is then you'd know the password) what are you doing trying to poke around as root anyway! :-) /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
