Issue description

Specifically the SERVERB system isn't accessible using SSH via Username/Password combination. Looking at the images with Guestfish, the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file has been updated to not allow password authentication. This is a different behavior than what is in the RHLS/ROL/VT images which allows password access. This causes the lab to fail.

I have created a playbook work-around for instructors for ILT courses (https://github.com/RHCInstructorTeam/RHCI_Infrastructure/blob/master/Ansible/Foundation/RH415v9/Fix_ServerB_SSH.yml) but this isn't accessible to all and only fixes the SERVERB SSH.

Steps to reproduce:

Setup ILT course and attempt to do the guided exercise as written. It prevents connection from ServerA or any other server because SSH keys don't exist and the password isn't accepted.

Workaround:

Run the playbook from Foundation Tarball on ServerB

(https://github.com/RHCInstructorTeam/RHCI_Infrastructure/blob/master/Ansible/Foundation/RH415v9/Fix_ServerB_SSH.yml)

or have students open the console or SSH from workstation to the servers and update the /etc/ssh/sshd_conf file to allow passwords.

PasswordAuthentication yes

Expected result:

Can SSH with password from any system.
