I am thinking about this purely from my UnixWare 7 experience. Trying to set up trusted hosts on UnixWare 7 was achievable, except that you could not set up trusted access with the root account across the two servers. I suspect that similar applies for Linux. I am not sure about the SSH only being available in one direction though. I assure you that out of everyone on this list, my knowledge is pretty pathetic. Pretty soon I will be getting an award for being the dumbest user on the list. ;) Pity there isn't a backup solution for dummies.
