Just curious with root ssh access, what I have been using is to create
/root/.ssh/config and enter

HOST <HOSTNAME>
IdentityFile /home/<USER>/.ssh/id_rsa

then as root using `ssh <USER>@<HOSTNAME>`

Well technically it's cron doing rsync to trigger the ssh connection,
but this causes root to initiate ssh using my user account keys.

Is this method considered OK or is it a security issue?
