* Answered "no" to use StrictMode
OK, this makes the .ssh directory have the wrong permissions.
$ ls -alh $HOME/.ssh
total 4.0K
drwxr-xr-x 1 meyer Kein 0 Nov 24 12:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 meyer Kein 0 Nov 24 12:11 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 meyer Kein 0 Nov 24 12:11 authorized_keys

Which permissions the directories and files should have?
What could the reason be that ssh-keygen don't create any key? Looks like it
wouldn't try it?
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.
