in comp.security.ssh i read:

you could read the group before posting, as this is a frequently asked
question. since you've given so little information it's a little hard to
say, but i suspect that you are about to make a major mistake: if the cron
job will run as root then you'd better reconsider making arrangements for
root to login between machines without demanding a password (or passphrase).
