Make sure /home/user/ isn't world-writable, i.e.

Code:

chmod 755 /home/user/

You could also try even more restrictive permissions (e.g. 700), but not sure if that brings other problems - 755 should be fine. Also make sure that similar permissions are in effect for /home/user/.ssh/ (700) and /home/user/.ssh/authorized keys (600).

Don't know what the numbers mean? read me
