Default SSH Key Problem
When I try to SSH into my server using public/private key authentication it rejects and I see this error:

Quote:
"Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/username/.ssh"
Anyone know what this means and how to fix the error?

What does 'ls -la /home/username' and 'ls -la /home/username/.ssh/' show?
