ssh “permissions are too open”

The keys need to be read-writable only by you: chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa Alternatively, the keys can be only readable by you (this also blocks your write access): chmod 400 ~/.ssh/id_rsa 600 appears to be better in most cases, because you don’t need to change file permissions later to edit it. (See the comments for more … Read more
