openssh-4.5_p1-r1, openssh-4.5_p1-r2 and openssh-4.6_p1-r1 use diropts -m 0600 dodir /etc/skel/.ssh So, no executable bit set on the directory. New users with the data copied from skel and an ssh-key can't login. Is this intended or a mistake?
fixed in cvs: s:0600:0700:
It just came to my mind that we probably should make sure that this is fixed in the release.
