AMI not copying sshd file

I have user and password auth configured for my instances but every one I launch i have to add this to the bootstrap

sudo sed -i 's/PasswordAuthentication no/PasswordAuthentication yes/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo service sshd restart

Is there a reason creating an image from an existing instance isn't copying that file?
