Look for Cluster SSH or Parallel SSH (pssh), I guess that's what you want to do.

I actually used an SSH2 lib plus script, worked very well and simple which is what we needed, not PSSH blah blah. – Joshua D'Alton Mar 22 '13 at 14:34

Password login as root is not a good idea. Make yourself familiar with public key authentication with SSH.
