Please calm down.

My copy of OpenSSH does not seem to support password input from a device 
that is not a terminal (such as the Emacs pipe I presume is setting this 
up).

The best thing to do would be to set up public key authentication so you 
do not need to type in passwords all the time.

Logging in as root for routine uses like this is not a good idea.
