Description Ben Cotton 2019-06-21 17:59:31 UTC 
This is a tracking bug for Change: Disable Root Password Login in SSH
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DisableRootPasswordLoginInSshd

The upstream OpenSSH disabled password logins for root back in 2015. The Fedora should follow to keep security expectation and avoid users surprises with this configuration.
Comment 1 Jakub Jelen 2019-06-26 12:12:50 UTC 
The OpenSSH with PermitRootLogin prohibit-password is building now in rawhide. Rather early to see whether there will be somebody else affected by this change. The Anaconda change is not yet in place so switching to MODIFIED.
Comment 2 Jakub Jelen 2019-07-23 15:20:18 UTC 
The fedora change was merged upstream.
