# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See | |
# sshd_config(5) for more information. | |
# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin | |
# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with | |
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where | |
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options override the | |
# default value. | |
#Port 22 | |
#AddressFamily any | |
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 | |

# The default is to check both .ssh/authorized_keys and .ssh/authorized_keys2 | |
# but this is overridden so installations will only check .ssh/authorized_keys | |

# Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM authentication, account processing, | |

# be allowed through the ChallengeResponseAuthentication and | |
# PasswordAuthentication. Depending on your PAM configuration, | |
# PAM authentication via ChallengeResponseAuthentication may bypass | |
# the setting of "PermitRootLogin without-password". | |
# If you just want the PAM account and session checks to run without | |
# PAM authentication, then enable this but set PasswordAuthentication | |
# and ChallengeResponseAuthentication to 'no'. | |

I had the same issue after Catalina Security Update 2022-004, and solved by reinstalling the OS. I appreciate very much.
