Description Kim Horne CLA 2006-01-19 08:50:56 EST 
I just created a new sandbox account on my mac.  When I created a new SSH connection I was warned about the creation of a series of different files.  Each file prompted the creation of a new dialog.  Could these not be condensed to one dialog?  Also, the last dialog seemed confusing to me.  It warned of the creation of a file and then told me to check the permissions.  Why do I need to check the permissions?  Did  the operation not succeed entirely?

The sshd will expect that access permissions for home directory(~) and ~/.ssh
are 'rwx------', but Java API does not allow us to modify file permissions.

In using extssh CVS access, there is no poblem, but in the future if you 
need to login to that mac from other hosts with public authentication, 
you will get troubles.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
