Tried setting /.ssh to 700 still no success:

debug1: trying public key file //.ssh/authorized_keys2
debug3: secure_filename: checking '/.ssh'

Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory

The line "debug3: secure_filename: checking ''" seems to be the problem.
Its checking for a non existent file.

On Unixware 7.1.1 and Openserver, that line is 
==>debug3: secure_filename: checking '/'<==
