Not sure how it works with OpenSSH, but with FCom's ssh
I can specify to ssh-agent whose private key to use for all
future child process authentications.
If I, as a user, specify the root's private key file (which obviously
should be readable by that user), I am asked for root's private key
passphrase and can use "ssh -l root servername" afterwards, without
entering the passphrase.
I never use passwd-based authentication, but publickey-based only,
it is not only more secure, but IMHO more flexible, too.
