Don't know, but here's yet another solution: Install all the openssh packages, run ssh-keygen as a normal user, copy this users ~/.ssh/identity.pub to some visible place (like /tmp), append it to roots ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (cat /tmp/identity.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys) and login as root via �ssh root@localhost�. And if you login via �ssh -X root@localhost� you will even be able to run X apps with no problems. Now, if you don't set a password when running ssh-keygen, you don't have to enter one.
