What are you trying to do here?

What you have set up is the ability for kuser to ssh into 'server' as root
without a password (assuming remote root logins are enabled and you have
an ssh-agent running).

root's home directory is not NFS mounted, so you will have to copy the
authorized keys file to every machine.
