OK, this makes the .ssh directory have the wrong permissions.

Real question is: Does ssh-keygen work with the wrong permissions?

My understanding is no, it refuses to create keys in those directories. 
And later other ssh parts will refuse to use them.

But I might be wrong.  The author of ssh-host-config certainly believed 
that StrictMode was not necessary.
