Does it have to use password authorization?  Another option is to use
key pairs.

You can also force the command that gets executed by putting the
command into the .ssh/authorized_keys file in root's home directory. 
It's a little tricky but you can execute a script which "wraps" the
command being executed by the ssh client.

But why does it HAVE to be root, is the user not configurable?  What's
the application?
