No modifications needed.

Run ssh-host-config and answer "no" to strictmodes.
mkdir -p ~SYSTEM/.ssh
ssh-keygen
cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.puv ~SYSTEM/.ssh/authorized_keys

You can now log in as SYSTEM and correct the permissions of the SYSTEM's
home directory, .ssh, and the files in .ssh.
Once the permissions are sane you can run ssh-host-config again.
