RedHat. ssh-keygen should be modified to generate proper keys or ssh
should be modified to accept the ssh-keygen'ed keys. The most correct
way would be to mod keygen and a more restrictive perm setting on the
keys and directory are not an issue for ssh.

Hmm. The more I think about it, it's a bug in keygen. If the default
form produces keys/directory with 660 perms, that is just plain wrong.
keygen is supposed to be a support tool for ssh so it should function
properly.
