[Bug 669338] Re: ssh autologin fails to work

[enb]

"the permissions on ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys must be secure
enough so that other users cannot see the contents"

After looking at auth.log, I get
    Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/username
So, I removed w and x from my main folder for group and others, which made it work, but before I changed that, the .ssh folder had no permissions for group or others, and I changed authorized_keys so that group and others also had no permissions for group and others.

So, by what you said, the permissions for .ssh/ and authorized_keys were
satisfied, but it still failed because it required the users main
folder. Should this behaviour of also expecting certain permissions for
the users main folder be considered a bug? Is it documented anywhere?
