If I am reading you correct you mean disabling 'root' direct login, and you are using a particular server (say like NIM) to connect to multiple different servers to execute you scripts/commands.

You don't want to open any unsecure ports on the server and raise an alarm, so better be off doing that.

There are ways around but that requires setup and configuration (no good practice).
