Is there a way to tell the sshd to ignore the security check on t he user's home permissions?

[Matt Studley]

I believe that you can set the StrictModes option to 'no' in the
sshd_config file and this will skip the security check.  This is strongly
discouraged however, as it is a security risk.  Even if StrictModes is set
enabled, you can defeat it by compiling sshd with the
--enable-group-writeability flag which makes group writable files
acceptable to StrictModes (if this is in fact what you want).  A note,
sshd does not check ACL's so you might use this avenue to accomplish what
you want.  Hope this helps.
