Interestingly I saw that post just before making my posting here.  That
was the last attempt I made to fix it.  I tried to chown SYSTEM.SYSTEM
.ssh/* which had no effect whatsoever on the ownership.  This user also has full administrative rights.  

Here is the directory listing for /home/user/.ssh:

total 4
drwxr-xr-x    2 user   Kein            0 Jun  9 17:11 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 user   Kein            0 Jun  9 16:09 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 user   Kein          225 Jun  9 17:11 authorized_keys
-rw-r--r--    1 user   Kein          887 Jun  9 17:11 id_rsa
-rw-r--r--    1 user   Kein          225 Jun  9 17:11 id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r--    1 user   Kein          447 Jun  9 17:12 known_hosts


However, given that they are all mode 644 I would think that would be
enough.  I've also seen this thread
http://archive.erdelynet.com/ssh-l/2001-06/msg00057.php which indicates
644 should be enough (what I would also tend to think).
