I'm trying to setup a user to ssh into localhost as root, without a
password. There is a good reason, honest. Now, I can do it to other
hosts-basically, copying the .ssh/id_dsa.pub key into
~/.ssh/authorized_hosts2 file in root's account. By doing it this way, I
can get into other machines as root, and into this machine as root from
other machines. But not locally.
Any idea why ?

Mutter. Wonder does it look for a different key when you are coming from
localhost..
