Hi Chuck, I regret I made a mistake in this bug report. I just examined my example again.
The exact condition is group write-able, which is not as onerous as suggested. Although the example is correct, the first sentence of the report is incorrect. Also, it works the same way in Jaunty, contrary to what I said. It would be helpful if the ssh(1) man page made some mention of this. thanks Andrew -- PublicKey authentication fails because of onerous permission rules https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522373 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
