I'm using guix on foreign (Fedora) distro, obviously i had ~/.ssh
directory with right permissions before replacing it with guix-generated
one. Maybe it's vice versa: the permissions are wrong when the ~/.ssh is
being replaced?
Honestly, i thought it's unfixable, like, can we change
the permissions of a symlink?
Oh, and i checked my permissions, and they are the same. Maybe the
problem is in somewhere within my sshd?
Thanks,
Paul.
