Why Leapp Preupgrade for RHEL 8 to 9 getting "Possible problems with remote login using root account" ?

Issue

• For RHEL 8 to 9 leapp preupgrade 'PermitRootLogin yes' value is getting failed.

Inhibitor: Possible problems with remote login using root account

Risk Factor: high (inhibitor)
Title: Possible problems with remote login using root account
Summary: OpenSSH configuration file will get updated to RHEL9 version, no longer allowing root login with password. It is a good practic
e to use non-root administrative user and non-password authentications, but if you rely on the remote root login, this change can lock y
ou out of this system.
Remediation: [hint] If you depend on remote root logins using passwords, consider setting up a different user for remote administration or adding a comment into the sshd_config next to the "PermitRootLogin yes" directive to prevent rpm replacing it during the upgrade.

For the Remediation, you can add a comment next to PermitRootLogin yes in order to bypass this.
