On each client box, mkdir /root/.ssh, cd /root/.ssh and ftp to the master box for /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub placing it in authorized_keys. If you wish to do DSA authentication then get your master box's /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub and put it into the authorized_keys(2)(?) file. Not sure here, I use only RSA. In my experience, login generally fails using the password authentication. Placing your master box's public key in authorized_keys works.
