Question about setting up ssh

[Walter Dnes]

  I now have 4 linux computers; my main PC, the "hot backup", a netbook,
and one dedicated to PVR (still setting it up).  I run into situations
where I want to pass stuff back and forth.  I want to implement the
following solution...

* collect the "id_rsa.pub" files from all users, *INCLUDING ROOT*
* concatenate all these files together
* store the resulting file as "authorized_keys" in all the *REGULAR*
  users' ~/.ssh directories
* but not in root directories
* set "PasswordAuthentication no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on all machines

  This should allow all users to log in to all other machines, and
"su -" to root if necessary.  Transferring files between root acounts
will be a two-step process, but that's OK.  On paper, it looks like
it'll work.  Am I missing anything obvious?
