Figured it out everyone, I still had CLRF line endings in my template file which was causing puppet to write the same line endings in the sshd_config file. I'll leave a note here for anyone on the google who finds this later
Quick Fix: Correct Puppet line endings (dos2unix on template file). Apply new puppet configuration from host's or just wait for puppet to catch-up. Rkhunter --propupd && rkhunter -c -sk For me at this point all checks pass. John Massey Senior Network Engineer Vistronix, Inc.

I have tried, yes/yes, no/no , no-password/no-password in each config file, restarted openssh and --propupd'ed RKHunter.

It will say which config file it is using and what values it has found.
