Hi,

You were right. Thanks a lot. I guess my eyes are not so good as I had read
the FAQ before asking the question. Now I know why it used to work on 90 %
of the computers I worked on and not on the other 10 %.

Anyway, I still don't understand the reason why such a restriction exists
(even in strict mode). As long as the .ssh directory contents is protected,
it should not be possible for a group member to do something bad on it. Am I
wrong ?
