openssh unix dev - Jun 2002 - ssh help

Hi chaps,

I now have host based authentication working in my openssh config.....I
don't have to put in a password when connecting to another machine usingt
he same username.

I need to be able to do the same thing using root, but it prompts me for a
password, no matter what I try.

What do I need to change/look for? Can this be changed in the config
files?

Many thanks for your assistance,

Maccy
