StrictModes causes the SSH config files and their directory components 
up to and including the user's home directory.  See secure_filename in 
auth.c.

For /home/dtucker/.ssh/authorized_keys, "authorized_keys", ".ssh" and 
"dtucker" would be checked, but no other files or directories.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
