Tested on reiserfs (Suse linux 9.2) How to repeat: 1) StrictModes and PubkeyAuthentication must be enabled for sshd on remote host 2) Create user test on remote host with homedir /home/test and homedir permissions - owner test, mode 0700 3) Create authkeys pair for user test and cat public key into /home/test/.ssh/authorized_keys 4) Set acl on /home/test like "setfacl -m u:test:rwx /home/test" 5) Try to login as test on remote host via ssh Results: PubkeyAuthentication failed. sshd error message: "debug1: trying public key file /home/test/.ssh/authorized_keys debug3: secure_filename: checking '/home/test/.ssh' debug3: secure_filename: checking '/home/test' Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/test"
Created attachment 837 [details] debug strictmodes Can you try applying this patch and repeating your test. I don't understand why this fails.
