SSH root login from one ip via certificate only, all other logins password only.

Hi,

I need to have one computer I can ssh to other computers as root for Ansible. To do this I've set up a strong certificate with a password, but what I want is to only be able to log in as root from one IP using that cert. All other users should only log in via a password and can do so from any IP.

Currently normal user logins are broken with this sshd_config. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? Sudo is not an option.

Thanks

James
