SSHd is now very picky about permissions of the .ssh directory and underlying files and may quietly fail if they're not set properly.

  Yup :) I learned this early on as a Linux user. It was the first thing I checked.

  very picky if you’re on a single user system. If you’re on a shared system, where admin has set default home permissions open, it makes complete sense to require .ssh to be 700.
