[Bug 2002868] [NEW] If default_user="root" and "ssh_pwauth=true" then sshd PermitRootLogin should be "yes", not "without-password"

 

Public bug reported:

As per the $summary, if default_user is set to "root" and
"ssh_pwauth=true", then sshd_config should be enforced with
"PermitRootLogin yes" instead of leaving the defaults which nowadays in
many distros is "without-password".

Thanks
