Public bug reported:

Traditionally, the default umask as been 0022, which is still the case
on Debian and for the root user on Ubuntu.

But for non-root users PAM sets a user's session umask to 0002 by
default (/etc/pam.d/common-session*), as defined in "/etc/login.defs"
via USERGROUPS_ENAB.

tinyssh's sshd will reject connections if ~/.ssh/authorized_key is writable by 
group/other.
The test case (re-)creates ~/.ssh/authorized_keys by echoing some strings/keys 
into it, which creates a new file on the default umask, breaking the test.
