Not sure about AIX but it should be similar, this is what I don on my Linux
and UNIX systems:

Connect with another user that is in the wheel group then use su to elevate
to root.

Subject: remote ssh for root

I would like to setup a trusted host that utilizes ssh; however, I do not
want root to be loginable.  If I set PermitRootLogin to no, then the remote
ssh function stops as well.  Does anyone know of a way to be able to do
remote ssh's as root without allowing root to be able to login?

I am using AIX versions 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3, and we are running ssh versions
3.6 and 3.8.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
