It seems something changed (maybe I'm missing a patch) to turn off this message: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Permissions 0650 for '/root/.ssh/id_rsa' are too open. It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others. This private key will be ignored. It isn't. The other permissions are controlled by the right most digit which is 0. Each user -- including root, is in their own group, so allowing groups access to be the same as user access is policy. By forcing this protection on my setup, I can't have the same home directory for my local and domain users even though they are the same on the server. But on the win-machine with home mounted directories, it messes things up and people have to come up with insecure work-arounds. Group permissions != "others". I did set the strictmodes to 'no', in the sshd_config file... but I don't see a similar parameter in the ssh file. Am I missing something?
