It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

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

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