The proper file is /etc/ssh/sshd_config

The only OpenSSH distribution that allows PermitRootLogin=yes after
install is OpenBSD's native one.  Almost all other portable versions have
packaged it so that it is off.

You are assumed to make a wheel group user for 1st login, or have remote
hypervisor/serial/remote ILOM console access from your WS to your new, in
any other modern datacenter environment.
