sshd & permissions on home directories

[kim.desmaele at bayercropscience.com]

Hi all,

I'm have a few users on my systems here, who're using RSA authentication 
keys with an empy passphrase when connecting from a remote unix or linux 
box.
Apparently, ssh refuses this authentication if the users home directory's 
permissions are not set to 0755 or less. 

The users would prefer to set the permissions 0775 on their home 
directories, but when doing so sshd requests the user password in any 
way...

Any idea how to avoid this or a workaround?

grts,
Kim DS.
