I've got a little problem with my ssh authentication. I'm using RSA based key authentication when logging on to remote machines via open ssh (on Debian Sarge). Everything is working fine, but now after having put my keys on a usb-stick the ssh-client doesn't accept them anymore due to bad file permissions (not restrictive enough). I can change those permissions while the usb device is mounted, but after remounting they are set back to the old state. Is there any way to tell the ssh-client to ignore those file- permissions?
What kind of filesystem do you use on that USB stick? Maybe the issue can be solved by using appropriate mount options rather than circumventing the insecure permissions warning.
