I did download the preconfigured image and followed the basic ingnition setup
with defining root password "password" via preconfigured hash
https://documentation.suse.com/sle-micro/5.0/single-html/SLE-Micro-installation/index.html#sec-slem-ignition

However I couldn't login as root on the default image due to "PermitRootLogin
without-password"

localhost:~ # grep -i root /etc/ssh/sshd_config 
PermitRootLogin without-password
# the setting of "PermitRootLogin without-password".
#ChrootDirectory none


I feel that we need to follow SLE Micro here, otherwise people will not be able
to follow SLE Micro docs. Unless they use combustion and will add they key to
authorized_keys.


Richard confirmed that not permitting root password login is also the default
on MicroOS,therefore we most likely inherited it from the openSUSE default
settings.
