Also...if you are going to use rsync over ssh, with null-phasephrase keys, I
found that in some situations, I also had to make sure to remove the few
lines in the root .bashrc file that prompt you about how to change the
network settings, on a new install.

You can enable Root-login in /etc/ssh/sshd.config -> PermitRootLogin Yes
Then restart sshd: service sshd restart.

You must do this by using su of course.
