Hi, Working with apache-sshd I found that it forces ~/.ssh/config to be owned by user without group/others permissions. It failed for me within my valid openssh environment. Within sources (readconf.c::read_config_file), I found that openssh only enforces ownership by user and not group/others write. When I opened an issue, I was referred to this[1] wiki page (not sure who maintain it) claiming that: """ This file must not be accessible to other users in any way. Set strict permissions: read/write for the user, and not accessible by others. It may group-writable if and only if that user is the only member of the group in question. """ Personally, I prefer the sources as a reference, but as this wiki page is source for information for some, and find no reason why this file is sensitive for read. I would like to know what is the expected behaviour. Regards, Alon Bar-Lev.
