----------------------------------------
There was a TOCTOU vulnerability in ssh_authorized_keys, and theoretically in 
the Solaris and AIX providers, where file ownership was given away before it 
was written.  This was bad, because it allowed a user to overwrite arbitrary 
files as root, if their authorized_keys file was managed.
