Take a look into this thread:

***
permit root login

***

And yes, it's a *very bad idea* to get this, even on a lan. I also
discourage you from setting up :-(

Don't know what your requirements are (maybe if you explain, someone can
give you a better option), but *always* use an encrypted channel to send
sensitive passwords (and root's one is possibly the most sensitive password
I can think).
