Using SSH as drop-in replacement for r* services

All,

I'm looking for some feedback for individuals who have been tasked by
their company to move away from using r* services (rsh, rlogin, and
rexec). It seems that SSH is the best fit for a drop-in replacement as
we already use it on a daily basis on our Solaris boxen.

However, some of our disastery-recover scripts that get run on a
daily-basis and they require root. We currently have root logins via ssh
disabled. Are there any reasons why we should not allow root logins via
ssh using PKI? Are there any issues that arise when migrating from r*
services to SSH on Solaris?

Thanks.

Ryan
