From c02212390140a127d47873d8d27081466bd5daeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2014 16:09:58 +0000
Subject: Allow harmless group-writability
Allow secure files (~/.ssh/config, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, etc.) to be
group-writable, provided that the group in question contains only the file's
owner. Rejected upstream for IMO incorrect reasons (e.g. a misunderstanding
about the contents of gr->gr_mem). Given that per-user groups and umask 002
are the default setup in Debian (for good reasons - this makes operating in
setgid directories with other groups much easier), we need to permit this by
default.
