Hello,
I am trying to understand ubuntu sshd config file and in there i found "PermitRootLogin is set as without-password". Does is set as default on ubuntu or somebody changes this to without-password.
Thank you

It means that you can login to root via ssh using key authentication
which is more secure than password authentication. The system is set
up by default so that there *isn't* a root password so you can't log
in to root using a password anyway (directly or via ssh).
