My secure log watch summary keeps telling me there's a problem with
ownership or permissions on ~/.ssh. Currently it's 755 and owned by me. I've
not changed it so I don't know why I'm suddenly getting this error. The
exact message is:

  Authentication refused:
     bad ownership or modes for directory /home/rshepard/.ssh : 6 Time(s)

   Since I logged in remotely via ssh 6 times yesterday (from Carson City and
Reno), I suppose the authentication messages refer to those connections.
But, they went through with no problems.

   Can someone explain what the message might be telling me?

Rich
