I recommend you change the following settings (wherever they appear in the file), from
PermitRootLogin yes RSAAuthentication yes #PasswordAuthentication yes UsePAM yes
to
PermitRootLogin no RSAAuthentication no PasswordAuthentication no UsePAM no
Note the use of UsePAM. On modern Linux, SSH password authentication occurs if UsePAM is yes, even if PasswordAuthentication is set to no, for historical reasons.
