           Summary: SSH ignoring "StrictModes no"
           Product: Portable OpenSSH

I'm posting a bug another user described so well I don't think I need
to write my own description:

We have a very strange problem with SSH. It looks like sshd is ignoring
"StrictModes no" and still doing strict permission checking.
Can anyone give me some hint what the problem might be?

Problem:
As long as the various users directory (e.g. User XA302) is mode
drwxr-sr-x
everything is fine. But if I change this to drwxrwsr-x SSH complains
"Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory
/appl/chroot/cp/XA302". We need group write permission on
/appl/chroot/cp/...
for our jobs which do further processing of the transfered files.
So I set "StrictModes no" in sshd_config. 
Does anyone have a similar problem or knows why SSH might possibly
ignore
"StrictModes no"?
