[PATCH] ssh-copy-id should do chmod go-w

[mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org]

You know.. thinking about this.. I really hate the idea of
any script mucking around with my ~/  permissions.  That is seriously
asking for trouble.

chmod 700 .ssh; chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys

makes more sense.  Changing ~/ permissions is a local policy issue, and I
know I get peaved when something changes my policy without asking.
