sshd should be configured to not accept non-local root logins. It is a pain
in the butt to enforce this but it is way more secure.
ssh should be in the user path, and sshd in roots. No mixing should be
allowed.

Subject: Re: Non-root ssh
Hi Mike and everybody. When I want to ssh to another machine, I log
in to somebody other than root. Then, assuming I have root
priviledges, I su to root as needed. Of course, the other userid
must be setup on the target machine. Also, I always, repeat
_ALWAYS_, start out as somebody other than root on the host from
which I am ssh'ing.
