[Bug 522373] Re: PublicKey authentication fails because of onerous permission rules

- Lucid Lynx creates user groups and group writeable home directories;
- openssh StrictMode on forbids public key authentication if home is group writable;

=> default installation prohibits public key authentication for users!

I do like user groups. Would it be possible to loosen StrictMode for the
specific case, where uid=gid and home is group writable?
