Comment # 1 on bug 1017738 from Neil Rickert

I am puzzled, particularly by that "must".

I have the following line in sshd_config

AuthorizedKeysFile      .ssh/authorized_keys

As far as I know, that's as installed with Tumbleweed.  And it has been working
without any hitches.

I'll add that I do my Tumbleweed updates via an ssh to root@localhost using
public key authentication.  So this is tested often on my system.

Is this bug report wanting to fix something that isn't broken?
