Comment:

 From 'man sshd':
 {{{
              If this file, the ~/.ssh directory, or the user's home
 directory
              are writable by other users, then the file could be modified
 or
              replaced by unauthorized users.  In this case, sshd will not
              allow it to be used unless the StrictModes option has been
 set to
              ``no''.  The recommended permissions can be set by executing
              ``chmod go-w ~/ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys''.
 }}}
 I'd recommend setting StrictModes to 'no' in our sshd configuration.  I
 guess I'll make that change in pilgrim.
