using public keys sshd_config issue

Hi all,
my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file is reverting to defaults every time I try to change it.
file READONLY and it still changes... very confused.

Files don't magically change themselves. So it's something or someone else that keeps reverting your settings.

Note that these two settings are on by default.
 
Are you perhaps using some sort of central configuration management like puppet or ansible?
 
Negative, they are not installed. However it did lead me to find a file in rc.d placed there by the cloud service. It acts like a back door. I called them and they confirmed it was their script.... re-installing from scratch now my image not theirs. grrrr
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction before I started looking for bugs in sshd.
