Yes, currently the patch uses strict mode checking; after the patch is
integrated it could be changed to use the StrictModes mechanism that's
already in OpenSSH.  What was your specific problem?  .conf file not owned
by root?  That could be relaxed by the above mechanism, I think.  The
permission checking on the verifier files should remain strict, though,
unless there is some issue on non-unix OSes that I'm not aware of.

Has anybody else tried out the SRP patch?
