The instructions for disabling SSH password auth were incorrect in a few different ways; there is no `sshd_config` file, `kubectl` isn't in the `root` user's path, etc etc... This is what worked for me, but I reckon someone at SUSE should perform a more holistic review of these pages. Signed-off-by: Alex Fornuto <[email protected]>

Why not simply use sudo su to become root, then you can execute kubectl without issues.
Please keep the previous text.

In my testing, kubectl wasn't in the root user's PATH.
