But normally the SSH keys belong to the non-root > user, so SSH'ing as root is annoying? Yeah. It requires "PermitRootLogin yes" in your sshd_config and installing root keys. It's not a huge issue, but if we do want to fix it, doing so will be easier early rather than when more tests are added with implicit dependency on having root.
