  OK.
  There is no any information leaks if we made "r--r--r--" permissons. Typical
contents of such files is:

SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-nRQKz11544/agent.11544; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=11545; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 11545;

  Agent pid can be always found by anyone using "ps" command, auth sock can be
found by "ls -l /tmp", etc. 

  I have not found files under /var/run which would not belong to root (or other
special account), therefore I don`t want to make these files owned by a user.

  What do you mean "documented anyway in the man page" ?  There is no mention in
 pam_ssh.8 about ~/.ssh/agent-* files, therefore nothing to change...
