[plug] ssh-agent and manual login

I have a couple of internal systems set up to allow ssh-agent to
autologin and run backup scripts.  Works well, but I had to remove the
norootlogin flag from sshd.conf.  Is there a way to refuse a manual root
with password login, but still allow ssh-agent access?  I would prefer
to login as a user and su to root for admin, but still need the
ssh-agent access.

I suspect not, but hopefully someone will know a way around it.  Or is
there another method not using ssh-agent for passwordless root logins
across the network?
