Comment 1 for bug 1817967

Thank you for your report.

This looks like a local configuration problem: if /etc/ssh/authorized_keys is chmod 0700 non-root users can't reach their /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/%u directory. You probably want to chmod 0700 /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/%u.

Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu.

If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
