It seems the latest OpenSSH update breaks ssh completely for people who
have nix-service running. OpenSSH seems to be expecting a certain
ownership of /nix/store which it does not have on Guix, and then fails
with "bad ownership or modes for directory /nix/store".

This seem to be a regression from https://issues.guix.gnu.org/77968

Could you please let me know the output of `stat -c '%n %a %U %G' /nix
/nix/store` on your system?

Also, do you manage your ssh configuration using nix?
